My daughter and I volunteer here 2x a month and it's been great. It's so peaceful and the horses are sweet and well cared for. The people we have met have been very nice, too. It's been a wonderful experience getting outdoors and getting some exercise while knowing we are helping these horses. Susan (the president) is so passionate about what she's doing--it's infectious! :) I have been inspired by her and I will continue to donate my time as well as some money to this cause.
