Where in this world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility...fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent, nothing so quick, nothing more patient. The world’s past has been borne on his back. We are his heirs; he is our inheritance...I am in awe of them and how they move my soul.....

"I worked Sunday morning and Friday night with the lead volunteer. I absolutely loved it. All of the horses are so sweet and beautiful and it's a lot of fun knowing how to feed each of them, and just how to take care of all of them.

Thanks again for the opportunity to work with all these magnificent horses, its such a joy to do! ~Riki Schmitt

THE POWER OF ONE. That's all it takes.

What if all you gave was just ONE hour a week?
