THE BRIGHTEST STARS

ARE THOSE WHO

FOR THE BENEFIT OF SHINE TODAY! V o l u n t e e r OTHERS

ALL AGES WELCOME

Have a few hours a week or more of free time? Spend it helping an equine focused association or trail riding group. It’s a great way to get close to horses and their wonderful people. Volunteers of any age are always welcome. NO HORSE REQUIRED

Don’t have a horse? That’s okay. No horse experience? That’s okay too. You just need to be interested in and love horses, that’s all it takes! Volunteering is a great way to learn about horses, no matter your age or experience level. There’s always something to do to help out! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Volunteering your time can be a rewarding experience. Meet people with the same interests as yourself, and make wonderful, lasting relationships. If you don’t have the time, become a member of one or more horse or trail riding associations, financial assistance is always welcome. All proceeds from memberships go directly to the association or trail riding group. There is no middle man – how many non-profit organizations can say that!

WHY BECOME A VOLUNTEER? It’s not for money, it’s not for fame. It’s not for any personal gain. It’s just for love of fellow man. It’s just to send a helping hand. It’s just to give a tithe of self. That’s something you can’t buy with wealth. It’s not medals won with pride. It’s for that feeling deep inside. It’s that reward down in your heart. It’s that feeling that you’ve been a part. Of helping others far and near, that makes you be a volunteer. ~ Author Unknown
