I’ll try it out! And I’ve saved your comment. If I see anyone else curious about volunteering, I’ll offer them information from the horse’s rehabber’s mouth. (I’m aware you don’t rehab horses, I’m just goofin)
It does genuinely seem like something I’d like to try, and I hope that the information I’ll glean from your posts might make my first days there a little easier! Already have a rehab and a date to check things out!
Wonderful! I'm always here to help whenever I can.
We do sort of have 2 horses, but they are the owner's personal rescue adoption animals, they are not part of the clinic but they live there since the owner lives on the property.
Do you guys ever get to say hello to them? This feels almost like a mechanic with project cars hanging out just outside
Their barn and pasture is right smack in the center of everything, so we see them all day. I forget if I've ever got to pet them. I may have gotten to scratch one's nose once, but they never seemed much interested in me. I believe they are pretty old, and are just there to enjoy their retirement.
That is so precious!! If I end up with any similar (non-identifiable) stories, I’ll try to post them for you!
I'm looking forward to it!
