at the Barns!
A new program launched in 2007 is becoming a favorite among volunteers, and the horses. The Barn Program involves volunteers coming to Triangle area quarantine barns to help out with the horses stabled at that location. Stalls are cleaned, horses are brushed, buckets are scrubbed and horses are held for the farrier. Both the volunteers and horses benefit immensely from the hands on care of the horses.
To organize these "Barn Days", Barn Coordinators were elected to schedule days, and to organize and supervise volunteers. This gives a much needed break to the property owners and allows the public to interact with the USERL horses. The horses also benefit from all the extra TLC!
For more information about this exciting new program, contact barnmomuserl@yahoo.com
