SAFE is looking for a few more people to help out with the horses that are currently at Jaime's farm in Monroe. We currently have different people assigned to come out on each day of the week, but we have holes in the schedule that need to be filled. Help is especially needed during the week, mornings and afternoons. Duties will include paddock and stall cleaning, feeding, and grooming. We need experienced horse handlers who can commit to a day and time, provide their own transportation, and work independently. If you are interested in taking a 2+ hour shift, please contact me at bonnie@safehorses.org. For those of you who can't commit to a weekly shift or don't have horse experience, but would still like to help, we welcome and encourage you to come out to the next Volunteer Work Party, date TBD. If you would like to come out and help us on a weekend, please email me at the above address, and we'll include you in the next work party!! Jaime and I would like to thank the following people who are currently doing one or more shifts on the farm and have been invaluable to us since we took in the seized horses: REDMOND! shekaberry monicabee jodycat Susan E. Kim L. hang on guys, I'm gonna get you some more help!! ;D

I would love to help but am not sure how much I am able to do. I'm a lifelong horse owner ... but was in an ATV vs Horse <sigh> accident on the Tolt Pipeline and got crushed. ATV won hands down. My back has pins in it but I am able to muck, care for and feed (and ride) my own horse and enjoy that simple chore beyond (prior)comprehension. But I can't handle heavy wheel barrows and cleaning feet is my back's worst enemy. I mostly enjoy grooming and doing ground work. And communicating/sharing with horses.

Welcome Gingercat! I am so sorry to hear about your accident, that is just terrible. I can imagine that after being through back surgery, it must be surprisingly enjoyable to be able to do horse chores again. We always can use help with grooming and horse handling. We should be having another Work Party day at the farm in Monroe pretty soon, and it would be terrific if you could come out and meet some of us and meet the horses as well!

Many thanks to LEAHLADY who has kindly offered her time on Mondays to help out, now that she is out of school. THANK YOU LEAH!!
And thanks again to REDMOND! who has been covering Mondays and Thursdays for a long time now, in addition to everything else she does (planning the garage sale, dropping everything at a moment's notice to come help me hold a horse, helping hold horses for the farrier or Hannah when I am working, going on emergency pickups to get a horse...the list goes on and on!)

I just got my volunteer orientation yesterday - can't say enough about how much I want to help. Let me know when and what time and I can make it happen. I love all the "residents" in Monroe - looking forward to getting to know them better

Help me! I can't do chores on this Friday the 4th because of Celebrate the Horse - I am a rider for one of the exhibitors and the practice time will conflict with any reasonable time I could go to Jaime's - the important thing is filling water buckets - on these summer days they really drink it down.
Can any trained volunteer substitute? I can trade for a day next week if you like.

Valerie - If Bonnie didn't tell you, I have Thursday covered. So if you can take Friday, great!
It's much easier around here with most of the horses out on pasture!
