Overall Experience
It has made me realize what a true passion for something is.

By volunteering at Equest I have learned so much about the people that work, voluenteer and have classes there, I have also learned about the horses. This is a place that works hard for a good cause the volunteers and staff put so much time and effort into this program. They have all taught me what a true passion for something is. And that is different for everybody. For me it is being with the people and helping out for a good cause and dedicating more time to that then anything else like t.v or video games and other things.

Overall Experience
This is the best thing I have ever done in my entire life!

Everyone there is so nice! The horses are frendly, and so are the people. It is a great way to make new friends, and gain knowledge on horses. If you love horses and love little kids, and helping others this is the volunteer job for you. I will volunteer here as long as I can! I can't wait, each week for the day I volunteer!
From, Katie Mourand
