My Nonprofit Reviews

I went to a volunteer orientation session with my roommate, and she continued on to volunteer regularly. The reason I give this nonprofit five stars is because it's all about the horses: their wellbeing, their physical and emotional health, their quality of life.

Volunteers are important. And they feel important. Triple R appreciates, protects, and educates volunteers. First and foremost, though, are the horses. During our orientation, which was led by Curry, the president of the rescue, we learned about horse care and the why for every single step. If there was a supplement for a horse's food, Curry explained what the supplement was for and how it helped that particular horse. He explained why the food needed to be at a particular height. He explained that when a horse reacted a certain way, it was because of x, y, or z. As someone who knows little about horses, I knew that if I asked, Curry would educate — and he did.

The sad truth is that horse rescues need to exist, much like more popular rescues for dogs or cats. For Triple R, the rescue will continue with its mission to care for, rehabilitate, and hopefully rehome the horses that need help. When it floods near the rescue (or recently with the wildfires), the board tells volunteers to take care of themselves first, and Curry will personally take the horses to another, safer location. That's the point — no matter what, the horses are safe, respected, and loved, no matter how long they stay at Triple R.

So I give Triple R five stars because I trust them to do right by our four-legged friends. They have a mission, and they follow through wholeheartedly.
