VOLUNTEERING:

HCW always welcomes VOLUNTEERS with open arms! Perhaps you can volunteer by assisting with trailering of these equines home from auctions, or to their new adoptive or foster homes?? If you have a reliable trailer and would be willing to be a volunteer driver, please email me, I'd love to hear from you. You may also volunteer your time if you are local and want to come and spend time with the rescued horses/ponies.. handling them, feeding them, grooming them, leading & tying them, some are able to be ridden, some need to be broke, some can be shown (some are suitable for w/t/c classes, some are suitable for leadline & walk/trot, some are suitable for just halter & showmanship classes), stalls to be cleaned, buckets to be washed, there's always lots to do and we welcome your help. If you are not local and would like to volunteer your time, perhaps you could post a HCW flyer at feed stores & tack shops near you, or submit a classified ad or article in your local newspaper.
