Happy Hooves have no paid staff and appreciate all the hard work the volunteers do. We are always in need of volunteers (age 18 and up) to help with the daily chores and projects around the farm. All volunteers are required to observe and help with morning feeding. If the daily horse chores are not your thing we also need volunteers to help with our parties, group events, fundraisers, grant writing, and gardening.
To get involved fill out the volunteer application form below and our volunteer coordinator will be in contact with you shortly!
Daily chores are 7 days a week, rain or shine. We begin at 7:30 am every morning. Some of the daily chores include:
- Getting the horses’ feed ready. Some horses need their grain soaked.
- Putting feed in appropriate stalls.
- Bringing the horses in to be fed. Turning them out to the day pasture.
- Filling water buckets in the stalls. Cleaning buckets as needed.
