I volunteered for 6 months last year, at a theraputic riding facility called Saddle Pals. It is a really great thing to do, but it does take a very special person... there were a few moments that were completely overwhelming, and it seemed like the managers at this place didn't handle some situations well. They were also over-staffed and a lot of the time me and a bunch of other volunteers were just sitting and talking, so I mostly ended up mucking out stalls. Which is why I decided it's not for me.

Therapy horses are SO great!! It's really nice to handle completely sound horses that won't bite, kick or step on you ! It looks like the horses at Pony Power are gorgeous!!! So are the pups! There's the cutest Australian Cattle Dog at Saddle Pals, named Rex... I did feel bad for him because he got stepped on and roughly handled by some of the kids there.

I hope you have fun, and good luck! It's really great of you to help out with the horsies.
