Do you provide A Diverse and Inclusive Volunteer Workplace?

Over the years, Rainfall Ranch Rescue (RRR) has been strengthened by its diverse group of volunteers. People from all walks of life come here to help horses. Our volunteers are people from different age groups, backgrounds, genders, national origins, religions, economic levels, and more. We provide equal opportunities for our employees and our volunteers. Discrimination against individuals on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, pregnancy, disability, marital status, military status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender expression, or identity is not something that we allow here at this organization.

Can I come ride horses?

Generally speaking, RRR does not offer volunteer riding opportunities. Most of our horses are very green, and many of them have physical or emotional scars from their neglect. SAFE employs professional training staff to provide careful, consistent training to bring the horses along to an adoptable state. If you are a professional trainer and would like to volunteer your services, please email our Operations Director, Terry Phelps-Peddy, at terry@safehorses.org with a list of your experience/qualifications. A recent video demonstrating your riding may be requested and an in-person evaluation will be required.

I need volunteer hours for (school, work, court-ordered community service). Can I complete them with SAFE?

Our volunteer program is not a good fit for one time or short term service. Because we expend resources in orienting, training, and scheduling new volunteers, we ask for a minimum 3 month commitment. If you are able to volunteer at least once per week for 3 months, we will provide you with written verification of your service hours.
