Inviting Volunteers who are comfortable around large animals

A 'Volunteer' to Equestrian Ventures would be 'of service' to the horses, doing the things described here in this volunteer link, 

such as but not entirely limited to: ZEN PASTURE MAINTENANCE  DANA*; 

Practicing 'being in the moment' while possibly - checking fence, tidying-up, pruning, weed whacking, maybe mowing, pasture poop pick-up, feeding or feed prep and more. 

There may be observation of husbandry training and/or relaxation/meditation methods with the horses.  

A volunteer will not be 'working' or riding the horses. 

A Volunteer for Equestrian Ventures might be grooming perhaps, only if the horse is agreeable and the person has already demonstrated that they are truly experienced with R+, classical conditioning and core emotional states. 

Perhaps a volunteer would just be hanging out, in the relaxing environment, just 'being', observing and maybe visiting with me as I share my myriad life experiences with horses, dogs, animals and people. 

While there could be learning occurring, I will not be ‘teaching’ a volunteer, per se.

* 'dana'  - 'to be of service, an act of generosity, is more about how we are than what we do'

A 'Working Student' at Equestrian Ventures, will be helping with barn/farm tasks, in exchange for - depending entirely on experience level - either lessons with me or working with the horses on their own.

A regular 'Student' or 'Lessee' at Equestrian Ventures, would be paying for - depending entirely on experience level - lesson time and/or paying for the time spent working on their own with the horses.
