The Helping Hooves On-the-Ground Team is about chores that maintain the health integrity of our animals or and ensuring that they a comfortable with the flow of humans in their lives. The program focuses on getting the animals groomed and exercised, stimulating natural relations that are required for us to co-create in interspecies events. This excites them, and gives them something to look forward to when they hear the word "It's time to go to work!" It is extremely beneficial for the livelihood and well-being of animals and contributes to longer, happier lives. The possibility of learning our brand of equine therapy is an extension of this… we accept Apprentices after we see dedication through Volunteerism.
Participants must print and sign a risk-waver. Bring it with you when you come the first time so we can keep it on file.

Winter Nov -March
We attempt to align all our practices with what the Mother provides.
On days with high winds, a lot of mud & rain, the horses are not willing to come out of the barn. The winter season is finally coming in… so it's a day to day check in
about what there is to do and whether anything can be done. Things on the list coming up: moving mulch out of the pen into the gardens and mulching; clearing the waterway… rubber boots and good clothes required; cutting and killing poison oak; wildfire cutting & the never ending leaf clean up. Anything sound exciting?

Special Events
We can always use volunteers during our events if you aren’t available at consistent times. Our Horse Dance, BBQ & Auction is such an event where help is needed. We also need Volunteers to work a community booth at street faires in your area. In exchange, we allow space for your own hand crafted wares, or services like divination…. This is a new activity we are undertaking this year to get the word out about what we do. Email Us to Talk about the Possibilities.

Butterfly Guardian Ed
The Butterfly Education Program Come Fly with Me, has been one of our big nature efforts since New Mexico 2013. We haven't found the Ranch in Ramona most conducive to the Monarch the last few years. Winds, heat and cold have reduced the number we actually see, even though we continue to plant the garden for them. However, anyone interested in learning this Program for schools and children's groups can contact Linda for 1:1 training. Email us to discuss the possibilities.
