We need you!  Can you help us take care of our horses? Let’s talk! (see below for more information).

​

A.G.E.S. is looking for ongoing volunteers to commit their time to assist with the horses. Extra sets of hands are always needed. If you have an hour a week, or an hour a month, you can be helpful.

Here are some of the things you may be asked to do:

• Brushing and grooming

• Socializing (giving them attention to make them feel more comfortable in their new environment)

• Of course, don’t forget about mucking!​

​

**Please note: this is not the place to receive riding experience.  Most of the horses come with little or no background and many come in very poor health, so any riding is most often limited to the AGES horse trainer. **

​

An orientation session usually takes place on the second Saturday of every month, weather permitting. Pre-registration is required for orientation, as space is limited. 

​

Volunteers cannot begin prior to orientation.

​

Children age 8 - 14 must be under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian and must be working side by side with them. No children under the age of 8!

​

Minors between the age of 14 and 17 must be under the supervision of an adult. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that a minor is not dropped off without confirmation in advance that an adult volunteer is available to supervise the child.
