Hello everyone! For anyone who's interested in helping out either permanently or temporarily, we have TWO days at Jaime's Farm that need a volunteer to fill in the weekly shifts: FRIDAYS & SUNDAYS Ideally, we'd like to have one person who can do it each week...or... 2 or more folks who can rotate weeks. But to get us by, I'd invite anyone who can fill in ANY upcoming Friday or Saturday to PM me or email: volunteer@safehorses.net and let me know what your availability is. We also have a need to cover next Tuesday, October 14th. With the winter weather moving in on us we have a greater need to keep those stalls and *NEW* Shelters clean for the horses. Your mad mucking skills are SOOO needed! ...and you may get a SCOTTY kiss for your efforts

This is so very important. I discovered last night how impossible it is for me to do it all in an evening. I stopped working at 5, went and picked up my son, got him started on his homework, and then started working on the paddocks. I got about halfway through with the paddocks when I lost my daylight and could barely see what I was doing and wasn't able to do a very good job, and I still had to do the stalls and feed. I was out there for almost 3 hours and when I got back inside I had to help my son do two hours of homework. There was a lot of poop because the horses had been in all day and night because of the rain.
So, I need help!!

I can help temporarily on Sundays. I can't commit to long term because of my own senior pony/cat obligations, but I can help with the immediate needs until you find someone. I've never been to your place so I don't know exactly what I'm signing up for, but I'm guessing it's basic barn duties which should not be a problem.

Thanks Liz! We've been talking about the need for two people a day so it could be very helpful to have people out there twice a day picking up stalls, etc... We absolutely CAN give you instructions on site if we pre-arrange it. Let's set it up!
Also: Anyone else who's interested we need help on Mondays and/or Wednesdays...if you know anyone who'd like to help and has those days/evenings available, PM me asap!
THANK YOU to everyone who contributes in any way toward the cause of rescue horses. The entire equine community benefits!

I may be able to take on other days as well depending on time requirements We'll see.
