SAFE Horse Rescue is looking for new volunteers in a couple of specific areas! Read the following volunteer descriptions to find out if one position is right for you. If you are interested in lending some of your time to help our organization for any of the following volunteer positions, please email our Operations Director — Terry Phelps at terry@safehorses.org.
Assistant Facilities Manager — SAFE is in need of a volunteer with experience in maintaining a small farm. SAFE is looking for someone who can lead and manage a team of volunteers on large projects around the facilities, is comfortable around horses, knows how to use power and hand tools and is able to work independently. Some tasks include maintaining the stable, ground, fences and other special projects. This job would require about 5–10hrs of work per week depending on projects and time of the year. The volunteer position is a great way to help give back to your community and support a local non-profit by using your specialized skills.
Volunteer Gardener — SAFE is a successful and growing horse rescue that is currently in need of someone who wants to pick up a gardening/lawn keep project as one of our volunteers. SAFE is on a 4 acre parcel with lots of room to make it your own, whether that means making a garden or making pasture areas for horses more efficient. This volunteer position includes general landscaping maintenance. SAFE owns our own equipment so we just need volunteers to run and manage the maintenance!
Part-time Groom — SAFE is looking for a part time volunteer groom that is willing to work Monday through Friday for 3+ hours preferably in the mornings. There is flexibility on days and hours. Some tasks for this position include grooming, bathing and tacking up our rescue horses. Experience with green horses is preferred. This position would be great for someone wanting to learn more about a horse rescue and its operations and join an important part of SAFE’s team.

Are you interested in someone once or twice a week as a groom, perhaps in addition to someone full time, or until you have that person. I have worked with Stanwood Therapeutic Riding for 3 years as a horse handler. We are taking the summer off, and I am looking to be of assistance. I am a retired teacher and lived in the Maltby area.4253460084
