I have been donating and volunteering at this organization for almost two years, and I find Brent's (the president of Orphan Acres) dedication and tenacity inspiring. Currently, over 80 horses reside at this wonderful nonprofit, either living out their lives, or waiting to be adopted into a forever and loving home. Some horses are brought from horrific situations, and are then rehabilitated at this sanctuary. Most horses are brought in because the owner could either no longer care or afford the horse, so many of these horses have great potential and would make a great family pet. Going out and volunteering is really a great experience because you get to bond with all different kinds of horses, and help your community. This organization is in great need of help, for both manual labor, and financial expenses. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone.
This is a great opportunity to help animals and learn about the natural world - particularly horses and ranching. Mr. Glover is a great teacher when your are working on tasks along side of him.
I volunteered for a month here and I definitely loved it and would do it again if I have the chance to. It was an amazing experience, learned lots of new stuff, and bonded with the horses. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Brent was super sweet and helpful in everything and the horses are always his #1 priority. I totally recommend it.

The horses that are housed here are in such good care! Brent really loves and takes care of his horses. He's such a great guy and not only cares for the horses but educates people about them.
Every cent donated to this non-profit goes towards the horses. He truly cares about the animals and does everything in his power to make their lives as comfortable as possible with what little resources he has. An older man of at least 60 or 70s, he works harder than most young people I know.
Orphan Acres, Brent Glover, rescues horses who have been abused, abandoned or starved or just need a new home. There are a lot of horses in need! Brent provides care and rehabilitation for these horses and has an adoption program for folks looking for their new best (horse) friend. For those horses that may not be able to be adopted due to injuries or age, Orphan Acres provides a sanctuary. Orphan Acres was established in 1975 and has found homes for close to 3,600 horses of the 4,600 horses that have been rescued and placed in care. This is an amazing task!!
I stayed at Orphan Acres for three months as a volunteer and I had a wonderful time there. Orphan Acres is a perfect place for horses in need. Brent, the caretaker, takes in horses that nobody else wants and he does a wonderful job of providing love and care for the horses. He knows each of them by name and personality and thats over 80 horses at the moment.
Many horses have special needs and/or health problems and need special treatment and Brent works pretty much 24/7 to make sure they all get what they need.
Volunteering at Orphan Acres has been an unforgettable and very rewarding experience. The owner is extremely dedicated and works hard everyday, to make sure that all the horses are taken really good care of. Anyone looking for a new horse to adopt or a place to donate should consider this facility.
I can say, that Orphan Acres is a great place for these animals and I hope more people get to know this place and support it.
Orphan Acres is a wonderful sanctuary for horses in need. Brent, the caretaker, does a wonderful job of providing love and care for the horses. He knows each of them by name and personality. All of the work I've done as a volunteer has brought me amazing gratitude and has been very enjoyable.
I have been volunteering out at orphan acres since May and I absolute love coming here. Brent is an amazing person who cares and loves every horse out there. He has over 80 horses and they all are his kids. Can't wait to spend more weekends out there. Please volunteer or donate if you can to this wonderful place
I truly enjoy volunteering at Orphan Acres. Brent, the man in charge, has done a wonderful job keeping the horses safe, well fed, and happy. There is a pasture for all of them to graze and each horse has access to hay and water all day long. Every time I volunteer there I am amazed at how well he knows every horse; there are over 80! It is a fun and rewarding experience to know that I have played my small part in being in these horses lives, letting them know that they are cared for. Orphan Acres is a great place for these animals and I hope more people get to know this place and support it.
Volunteering at Orphan Acres has been an amazing experience. They take in all of the abused and neglected horses and give them an environment where they can live with their herd and thrive. Brent, the owner/caretaker, works very hard to provide the best care for these horses, many of whom have special needs. They have had many horses live well into their 40’s which is evidence of the quality of life provided at this facility. I hope that individuals and organizations will continue to donate and support these horses (and the wonderful people that care for them).
Volunteering at Orphan Acres has been an unforgettably rewarding experience. The owner is extremely devoted and hardworking, and there are many, many horses with serious needs. Anyone looking for a new horse to adopt or a place to donate should consider this facility.
This was my first time volunteering but I definitely will be back! Orphan Acres and Brett are truly inspiring, and I find it amazing that he can take care of so many horses. This is an awesome and unique place!
I have volunteered here for eight years now because it is a wonderful place with a magical cause. This is where I learned how to operate my own non-profit conservation farm. Brent Glover takes care of his animals well and is a great mentor to those who chose to work in the non-profit sector of society!
I have volunteered at Orphan Acres multiple times in the past few years! Brent has such a dedication to making sure all the horses get the care they need. I have enjoyed helping out with various chores and getting some horse experience!
My name is Dr. John Fudens HMC DVM PH. I use to be a conventional veterinarian but gave up that type of treatment years ago. I am now a Dr. of Classical Homeopathy caring for animals , children and adults with homeopathy and other holistic treatments. I have known Brent and Orphan Acres for 4 years and have lived at the sanctuary for 2 years caring for and treating horses that have been abandoned, abused, mistreated, neglected and more. I did this as I was making a transition from Boise ID area to the CDA Idaho area where i will be living and practicing shortly. For the 53 years I have been treating animals with various methods, having been on many farms and ranches with large animals (started out as a large animal vet) I have never seen anyone so in love and caring for horses as Brent is. Running O.A. is not his job but his life and passion. The over 80+ horses he has at present have better care than a lot of humans on this planet which is a sorry state for humanity. How he drives himself in caring for the horses 24/7 in any type of weather and conditions is nothing short of amazing. I help as best i can besides the medial treatment but he does this by himself and with college volunteers. I believe what he does every day keeps him alive even with his own health issues. What any person(s), organizations, companies can do to help him care for these horses is one of the best and kindest acts that can be done. Please try to help him and the horses as best you can.
Brent is truly passionate about what he does and is constantly looking to improve! Orphan Acres is a wonderful place!
I have been volunteering with Orphan Acres Inc. for a little over a year now, and I absolutely love it. Brent is so dedicated to finding good, loving homes for horses. He is always working hard to improve Orphan Acres and he is so willing to help his volunteers and the community out with whatever they need.
Orphan Acres is an extraordinary place. Taking care of horses is no easy task, and Brent does it with 70+ horses in need. I am so appreciative of all he does, and I am glad I had the opportunity to help him out.
Today was my first time volunteering at Orphan Acres, the first of many. I had a great experience during my time here, spending time with the horses and helping around the farm. It's an amazing thing that Orphan Acres does for these horse, cares for them, loves them, feeds them. I would definitely recommend volunteering at Orphan Acres to my friends, it is something everyone should experience for themselves.
