We are a volunteer-based organization
with many caring volunteers who bring love and
happiness to our residents. If you would like to
join us, please read and understand our
requirements and message us!
**PLEASE NOTE**
Most of our residents are rescues who have
trusting issues with people. Due to those matters and to prevent accidents, we do not allow friends, children or families visiting the island etc. to
shadow you during your volunteering hours.
Please respect our privacy and please escort them during the visiting hours.
◯BEWARE! We have geese! It takes time for them to adjust but they will eventually recognize you and leave you alone. If you’re scared of geese
this is not a good place to volunteer and we
cannot lock them up all day. Animals always come first and we deeply appreciate your
understanding and the effort to accept them.
◯We have a dress code. You are asked to dress
properly to protect yourself from any accidents
such as getting bitten, stepped on or simply
shoved by the rescues. Yoga pants, shorts,
sandals, revealing clothing are not acceptable.
Please consider working boots, cargo pants, jeans and tshirts for your safety and for the comfort of others.
**Main tasks are mucking stalls, organizing the
surrounding and cleaning. Grooming and training the horses depend on your experience and is not promised. We also require every volunteer to be
friendly to our visitors and lesson students, which are mainly children.
Please understand most of our residents are
Very rescues and need more patience and care
than usual horse ranches. Some are not broken,
some are scared of people and some bite because they have been mistreated.
