Review for Florida Research Institute for Equine Nurturing Development & Safety, Inc. aka F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Horse Rescue, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

FRIENDS Ranch provides a fun and educational experience for anyone interested in horses. Working at the ranch also gives volunteers an opportunity to get exercise and be outdoors. I have found that many children that volunteer at the ranch are exposed to animals and the outdoors that they may not have ever been exposed to previously. There are horses, donkeys, pigs, cats and wildlife such as birds, raccoons, etc. I personally find my experiences at the ranch to be very enriching. I'd be lost without this opportunity to help our community and the animals.
