Whether you are a novice and want to learn about horses from the ground up, or an experienced horse person that wants to share your time and expertise, we can always use your help! You will learn first hand about the feeding and handling of draft horses, some with very special needs.

We can use your strengths in every area, from building fences to hauling hay bales to planning special events and fundraising. Yes, some of the chores are not so glamorous, but it all needs to be done. Keeping our horses in a safe and sound environment takes a lot of hard work. Young adults, retired folks, veterans… we welcome all and will spend time with you to show you the ropes
