I’m sure the horses are very well taken care of but when you offer to help in any way you get mixed signals. Last year I was told I could bring home a couple horses to foster for the summer because my daughter was getting ready to go off to college for Animal Science/Equine Studies. I didn’t do it that summer because a friend let us take her horses instead. Last week we stopped by(my daughter has graduated and now works as a vet tech at an equine hospital) and the girl we had to speak to was in a meeting. A few days went by, never got a call back, i texted her, nothing, I texted her again, nothing, I texted her a third time, (this was over the course of 4 days) she finally shot me a text saying they don’t have anything for adoption. I told her I wasn’t looking for adoption that I wanted to bring a couple home for the summer like she had told me I could do before. Now all of a sudden that can’t be done. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh well

I have been a horse person all my life and have owned my own farms and horses in the past. As a recent retiree from the academic world, I started volunteering at Lucky Orphans in January. In spite of having many years of horsemanship experience, I was still required to go through several sessions of volunteer training to learn correct and safe methods of beginner horse handling and care. I have been impressed with the priority given to teaching safety for both horse and handler. I have been at a lot of farms and stables over the years where there is very little supervision. Guidelines of the Certified Horsemanship Association are followed closely at Lucky Orphans. There are a lot of horses on the property. In an ideal situation, there would be 2 acres per horse. There are not many places in the country where that happens. These are horses with injuries that otherwise might not have found a home, as well as race horses and aged horses that nobody wants to support financially now that they cannot do the jobs they once did. Deanna and Klarissa work with an amazing crew of volunteers that love the animals and love what they are doing. Financial donations can always go a long way towards making more of a difference to these animals. Owning and managing a farm is a 24/7 job. Living in a small apartment over a barn is not a luxurious life style, but it does speak to a mission of caring for animals who might otherwise be out of luck.
