Volunteer Support Program
Thank you to all of
the volunteers who joined us on Saturday, April 21st for Spring Hill's barn
clean-up day.
What a great way to start Spring!
What to Expect When Volunteering
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home horses
which are the core of our programs and services. Volunteers shouldn’t expect
that they will be allowed to ride horses as part of the volunteer program. We
are not a riding facility or stable. Most of the riding horses find homes
quickly and those that have suffered abuse or ill-training will need to be
handled or retrained by professionals. However, we encourage our volunteers to
seek further education through responsible lesson programs and our own
educational programs when available.
Please e-mail Brenna Wright @
brenna@springhillrescue.com for more
information.
