Volunteer
“It’s a horse rescue, but we’re also a people rescue… We see people change their lives after being here…There’s a reason they all come here to volunteer again and again. We rescue horses and they rescue us right back.” - Gina Hluska, President / Founder
Would you like to join our team?
Elite Equine Horse Rescue relies on our dedicated group of volunteers to care for our horses every day. Whether its daily chores like mucking stalls, assisting with office work, or helping with ground maintenance, you will play an important role in EER’s mission. We have volunteer opportunities for any level of experience.
Volunteer help is needed on both weekend and weekday morning and evening shifts.
We welcome group volunteer days for businesses or organizations. Contact our volunteer coordinator to schedule a group volunteer day!
The next volunteer orientation will be held on Saturday, November 2nd at 10 a.m. To sign up for this orientation, please email EERvolunteers@gmail.com or call us at (719) 428-0104. New volunteers must read safety requirements and sign the liability release form prior to volunteering.
We are excited to meet you!
Sign up for shifts ahead of time via SignUp Genius. The link to SignUp Genius is sent monthly via email. After attending an Orientation you will be added to the email list. When you sign up for a shift, it is requested that you complete a chore set for that shift.
The horses here at Elite Equine Rescue & Rehabilitation have various backgrounds and are individuals. Therefore, their temperaments are not always predictable. This does not necessarily mean that these horses are mean or dangerous, but it does mean that members of EERR and boarders alike should always be aware of their surroundings while working on premises around horses. If you’re new to horses, we will teach you all you need to know. Everyone on the premises must take the proper precautions to avoid accidents and ensure the safety of volunteers, owners, and horses alike. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
