We need you!

We are a natural horsemanship facility, our volunteers learn to handle the
horses according to the principles of natural horsemanship which are based
on love, language and leadership.

As a volunteer you will learn:
What it takes to care for a horse in time, labor, and love.
How a horse thinks, acts and plays, (horse behavior).
How to medicate a horse and other husbandry and handling skills.
How and why to groom a horse.

We need grounds and facility maintenance help.

Are you handy with tools? Do you like to mow or do other yard work?  We could use your help.  Horses are hard on fences and the weeds never seem to stop growing!  Fill out a volunteer form today and we will contact you to set up a time to come out!

Do you need community service hours?

We have all types of jobs available for community service projects or court ordered community service requirements.

If you are under 18 you must have a parent or LEGAL guardian with you at all times.  We’ll set up a training schedule and then put you on a regular volunteer schedule that is convenient to you. Volunteering is one of the most selfless things a person can do!  It can also be one of the most rewarding, especially when you are directly involved with saving an animal that has fallen on hard times through no fault of its own.  It’s your chance to give, even if you don’t have a lot of disposable income.  Your time is priceless!

Being a volunteer at SHHS can be a very fun, rewarding, heartwarming experience.  Sixteen Hands is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is run entirely on donations. We are looking for dedicated, horse-loving individuals who are willing to help make a difference in the lives of these wonderful animals.
