I used to volunteer at a friend's horse farm as a kid and teen. This was how I got my foot into the door of the horse world, being a city kid myself. I took away experiences to last a lifetime! Now if only I could find a youngster to volunteer here to cleanup manure!
Kudos to you who volunteer. Volunteerism is really what makes the good in this world, go around. Nowadays I work too much to volunteer on a steady basis, but I do enjoy helping out at my friend's beef/horse farm now and again.
