Volunteering
Hands-On Time at the Barn
Volunteering at Windmill Stables means spending time with horses while helping out around the barn. You'll assist with lessons, groom horses, and learn the day-to-day of running a stable. Students, horse lovers, and anyone in the community can sign up.
How It Works
Our volunteers help with instruction, horse care, and barn upkeep. In return, volunteers learn hands-on skills and become part of the barn community.
Volunteers must be enrolled in our Windmill Family Membership to participate. Members get access to training, recognition events, and barn activities.
