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.

If you are interested in volunteer opportunities, please complete a Volunteer Application and submit this information via mail (10386 N. 65th Street Longmont, CO 80503) or fax (720 494-1415) or email (info@chr.org). If after reviewing your application, the CHR staff feels you and CHR are a good match, we will contact you regarding a volunteer interview.

Note: Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Children between the ages of 14 and 17 are required to volunteer with a parent or guardian.

Thanks for your interest in Colorado Horse Rescue!
