We are an all-volunteer organization, operating solely on the donations given through the generosity of compassionate and caring people. "
Save the Horses requires volunteers every day. From barn chores to maintenance work, volunteers handle everything the organization needs to operate effectively. Save the Horses is also looking for volunteers with experience in public relations, grant writing, marketing, graphic design and many other non-farm skills. In the end, however, it’s all about helping the animals.

Your help in the form of donations and volunteering will always be needed.”
