I began volunteering at Horses Help in the Spring of 2019. What drew me to Horses Help is the same as what draws many volunteers, the desire to be around horses. What has kept me here is so much more. It is the clients we serve, the truly amazing humans I'm surrounded with, and of course the herd! 

 

I started as a barn buddy and joined adaptive riding and horsemanship classes the next ride season as a side walker. Over time, I worked to progress through the volunteer training levels with the assistance of some awesome mentors; Jenni and Shelly being the main ones. Thank you! I am now a Level 3 Horse Lead and continue to help with barn chores as well. 

 

Each time I am on property, I can feel the tensions of my day and life melt away. I receive so much more than I give. I have often said, "Horses Help feeds my soul."
