Volunteer Program

We have both morning, mid day and evening shifts available seven days a week (even on holidays), in all weather conditions and temperatures.

Morning shift runs from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM, mid-day is 12:00-3:00pm and evening shift is from 4 PM to 7 PM.

If you are interested in a shift that isn't currently available, we will put you on our waiting list.

No prior horse experience is necessary! We provide all the training you need to safely care for our horses and other farm animals.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and able to commit to the same day and time each week. Reliable transportation is essential, as is a commitment to volunteer for at least three months. If volunteers are absent more then 2 times in the 3 month commitment agreement, we will ask you to step down from the volunteer position. When volunteers are not reliable, it is extremely difficult to manage the extra work without another trained volunteer to step in. 

We require volunteers to be naturally neat, tidy, and observant of potential hazards or tasks that need to be done. Our volunteers must be able to work well with a team but mainly on their own. Initiative is highly valued here, and we encourage volunteers to proactively address any tasks or issues they encounter.

Lastly, volunteers must pass a background check if they are over 18. There is a small fee of $10 required to pull the report. 

Due to the training involved, we cannot accommodate individuals who wish to volunteer occasionally. 

(However, see below on how else you can help!)

The opportunities to groom and ride horses are reserved for our students who have committed to our programs. However, volunteers will have plenty of opportunities to interact and care for the horses and other farm animals. If you find you want to experience more, we do offer a significant discount on all our learning programs to our committed volunteers.

Volunteering here at Triple Moon involves a significant amount of manual labor. Tasks include lifting and pushing heavy wheelbarrows, cleaning animal enclosures, lifting heavy bales of hay, shoveling heavy debris, scrubbing water buckets, raking, sweeping, dragging hoses, and more. Volunteers must be physically capable of performing these types of tasks. It definitely will keep you in shape!

Please be aware of the nature of the environment here, people with severe hay fever or allergies to dust, hay or animals will find it difficult to manage.

While we rely heavily on the strength and hard work of our volunteers, we understand that not everyone may be able to perform all tasks. If a volunteer finds the work too challenging, we will endeavor to find other ways they can contribute to our operations if the need is available.

Yes! If your schedule does not allow for a regular weekly commitment, consider joining our drop in monthly farm clean-up projects. This is a great way to contribute without the weekly commitment.

We are also in need of qualified volunteers to assist with fundraising. If you are outgoing and organized and have skills in managing events such as silent auctions and raffles, or can organize donations, please send us an email. Explain why you would be a great fit for helping us with these efforts.

In addition, we need social media volunteers that are willing to post and share our content regularly to reach more people with our mission.

We are always in need of people with handyman, printing, electrical, mechanical, farrier, landscaping and plumbing skills.  

We need sponsorships! We desperately need gravel, construction sand, wood chips, paint, rodent and insect control, building materials, power tools and barn supplies like wheelbarrows, muck buckets, brooms, rakes, stall forks and electric fencing supplies.

We need hay and animal feed…ALWAYS…Our feed bill is our largest expense at $67,000 a year as of 2024/2025. With the cost of everything rising to almost unreachable prices, this is our main reason for fundraising. Following is a list of animal feed that we are always accepting as donations!
