We Need You!
Volunteers are the life blood of SHARE - without their help and dedication it simply would not be possible to care for the needs of all our horses.
There are many ways in which volunteers can contribute to the success of SHARE. The obvious ways are in feeding and caring for the animals directly, but there are many other opportunties to benefit SHARE!
SHARE is in need of volunteers on Wednesdays and Thursdays! Even though it is cold and we'd all love to stay inside, the horses must be cared for. Volunteers help get the work done much faster when there are more hands to pitch in - AND the horses appreciate getting their hay and water quicker, too! And you get your horsey fix too! And if there is time left over, the horses always appreciate a scratch or two.
Volunteers must be 16 years old at a minimum, and there is no maximum age.
Please do not just show up to volunteer as SHARE is located on private property - please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Kim at kimthiede1@gmail.com and she will set up an orientation for you.
Contact us today to discuss how you may best serve the horses and assist SHARE! We manage and communicate with our volunteers via a website, so if you want to help please sign-up.
Daily Care of Animals
Every night SHARE needs volunteers to help bring in and feed the horses. Some may have special needs or are under strict quarantine procedures.
Foster
Do you have room for just one more? We have two kinds of foster homes: pasture pet foster homes who take a horse who isn't likely to be adopted otherwise, and training foster homes. If you think you can provide care for one of our pasture pets, Check our Adoption List for their information.
As of April 2017 we are not fostering horses unless it is an emergency. IF you would like for us to contact you in case of an emergency foster situation, please contact us at sharehorses@gmail.com. Thank you!

Train
Do you have the skills to start our horses on ground manners or under saddle? This is great way to help our horses find forever homes.
