BE AN ANGEL...BE A VOLUNTEER There is an angel on my shoulder, When I go for a ride. One of them is a leader And one on either side. They don't do it for money, A smile is their request. I'm made to feel important, So I will try my very best! Taken from: The Instructor Voice, NARHA, Fall 2002

Whatever your talents are, SMILES has a place for you! Volunteers are needed to help students, work with horses, maintain equipment & facilities, do office work and committee work. WE NEED YOU!!!

Volunteers are needed when SMILES harvests hay.

Here some volunteers are helping with a newsletter mailing.

There are so many areas to keep up. Painting, varnishing and general upkeep of the premises.

Carpentry work is always needed in some area or other.

During classes, help is needed, to lead horses or to side walk with some students.

Of course there is barn work and while in our horses need water.

Before putting saddles on our horses, it is important that they are groomed. Brushing is especially needed in areas that are covered with the saddle, because dirt can irritate the horse under the saddle.

Dennis Dutton is operating our tractor in this picture, he is one of our long time volunteers that make sure our hay is harvested at the proper time. NARHA voted Dennis their 2008 Volunteer of the Year and will present him with an award on November 18 in CA.
