Volunteer at Days End Farm Horse Rescue
Volunteers offer invaluable support to DEFHR. They
work with horses, the petting zoo animals, visitors and staff,
independently and in groups, on weekdays and weekends. They learn,
serve a vital role in horse rehabilitation, help with education and
outreach activities, and have fun!
