 Volunteering at Colorado Horse Rescue
Work out in the fresh air, do some heavy lifting, stretching
and walking.
You’ll be doing something good for you and the horses!
We have plenty of opportunities to lend a hand! Currently
we need help with barn and farm work seven days a week,
year round, as well as help with fundraising efforts and
office work.
See our Volunteer Staff Positions >
Barn chore volunteers generally help with chores from 8-11
am and 3-6 pm each day. CHR enlists the skills and diligence
of a large team of volunteers that devote their time to
preparing feed buckets, cleaning and filling water troughs,
mucking stalls and pens, as well as keeping the barn clean
and organized. Though these tasks may seem inconsequential,
they are a very necessary part of keeping our horses happy
and healthy. Interested volunteers may also help with mechanical
related farm tasks. Fundraising and office volunteers are
typically offered a more flexible schedule with some tasks
even possible from home. Contact
us for details.
CHR welcomes volunteers with varying degrees of experience.
For those interested in working in our barn, preference
is given to volunteers who can commit to one or more regular
shifts per week. New volunteers are evaluated and assigned
specific duties based on their horse experience and innate
abilities with our animals, as determined by staff. Prospective
volunteers must complete an interview and practical orientation
before they are added to CHR’s volunteer roster.
Note: Our Volunteer Program is not designed as a teaching/learning
opportunity for riding lessons, horsemanship training, groundwork,
medical care, husbandry etc. If you are interested in horse
education, CHR regularly offers classes and clinics for
both the general public and volunteers.
