Program Details
We have a wide variety of projects we are working on completing this year. Outdoor riding arena, horse obstacle park, fencing, horse shelters, trail and pasture clearing, parking and camping area and more. Firewood collection is a year long task.
Activities & Shift
We enjoy in our time off taking volunteers boating, wake surfing, tubing and swimming, if interested to other ranches to experience brandings, horse shows when possible, karaoke in town,local hikes and waterfalls. We do live quite a ways from town (35 minutes) so volunteers that best suit the ranch are outdoorsy and enjoy hiking or other outside activities in their time off.
Rules
As we live in an area prone to wildfires we do not allow smoking on our property. We do have small children and expect that volunteers are kind and respectful with our kids and in general should like kids if youre choosing to stay in a house with them. Household chores are shared with all people in the house expected to pitch in, we do the majority of the cooking and ask that you help clean up the kitchen and house daily.
