Review for Throwaway Ponies, Farmersville, TX, USA
I recently started volunteering here, feeding, and working with the horses when I can. I love horses and if I could I would run a sanctuary of my own, and I would absolutely model it after ThrowAway Ponies! The amount of work and love that goes into these neglected, abused, and forgotten horses is phenomenal! You can truly see it when you encounter each horse! They've come to trust and love humans again.
The children that attend the kids' clubs learn so much, not just about the horses, but to have confidence in themselves. In the short time that I have been volunteering, I've witnessed so many wonderful things, from neglected horses, untrained and forgotten horses, to the children that are learning to work with them! I am a huge fan of TaPs!!
May God continue to bless the Banders with volunteers and funding to help more needy horses!

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
Absolutely, it is very humbling to know that some people have had to give up their loved horses simply because they could no longer afford to feed them. It also gives me hope that there are many people who care as much as I do for the horses and children.
