My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been volunteering here about once every weekend or other weekend for the past year and I find that Orphan Acres is not only a great place for the horses to go when they need help, but it is also a great learning experience for those that come out to volunteer. Whether its learning how to feed them, haltering, putting blankets on, brushing, walking the blind horses or working on many of the construction projects there you will always learn something. Going out there for over a year, I find that I still learn something new every time, but I also try to teach those that come out for there first or second time. Recently we started putting blankets on for the winter and I learned how to put the blanket on, then showed several people how to catch, halter them, and put blankets on. The horses there are often very friendly because of the care that they get there. This shows that the horses truly are getting rehabilitated, but also allows the volunteers to enjoy the company of the horses as well and helps them become less afraid and more confident around horses. Overall, this is a great organization that Brent has going there and he could definitely use all the help that he can get whether monetary or as volunteer work.
