There are a number of ways to help the MHR horses.
Volunteer orientations are hosted on the first Sunday of every month at 10 am-11 am. After orientation, we will work on barn chores and projects until12:30 and then give some TLC to our rescues until approximately 1:30.
Our Volunteer Program takes place on Sundays from 10:30-1:30. We meet in the clubhouse and then begin the daily tasks together.
Please email info@milehighrescue.org or text 720-773-2647 to sign up for the next orientation.
Outside volunteering hours are scheduled on a case by case basis.
Volunteers under 16 must volunteer with a parent or guardian.

NOTE: All volunteers must attend our horse 101 training course, and be involved with one or more activities before caring for the rescue horses. We understand the desire to work directly with the horses, however our rescues often are in the process of rehabilitation and learning how to trust. Working with this type of horse takes time and experience. MHR will teach dedicated volunteers how to work with rescues as long as it is a safe and positive environment for everyone.
