• Volunteer FAQ

Q: How do I find out what days you need help?
A: We have an online system known as McVIC, which you can access online. You can see what days/times we need help and sign up for the time slot you want to volunteer.

 

Q: Do I need horse or barn experience?
A: You do not need any experience with horses or working at a barn. We'll teach you everything you need to know!

 

Q: Will I get to ride a horse?
A: We plan quarterly volunteer reward parties for our volunteers who have a minimum of 20 volunteer service hours in that semester. These parties include food, fun, fellowship, and riding!

 

Q: How old do you have to be to volunteer?
A: We accept volunteers 14 years of age and older. All volunteers must be capable of working independently.

 

Q: Can I fulfill my community volunteer hours for high school there?
A: Yes. We provide documentation of the number of hours each volunteer serves, as requested.

 

Q: Is there a certain number of hours I have to volunteer?
A: No; whatever you can give is great, as long as it fits into our operational hours.

 

Q: Can I volunteer with my friends?
A: Of course. But please remember, we are a professional establishment, so please don't use the barn as a hang out.

 

Q: How do I sign up for the hours I want to volunteer?
A: Once you complete the volunteer application and set up your orientation, we will go over our online volunteer tracking system and send you an email explaining the process.
