Volunteer

Bring boots you don't mind ruining.

Leocor Farms is run entirely by volunteers. If you can carry a water bucket, hold a lead rope, or drive a fence post, there is a place for you here.

Volunteers place their hands on a bay horse in a green field, showing calm hands-on care

Barn & feeding crew

One shift per week

Morning and evening feeding, water checks, stall and shelter cleaning, hay moving. The backbone of everything.

Grooming & handling

Flexible

Brushing, hoof picking, leading horses to and from turnout, and holding for the farrier or vet. Training provided.

Pasture & fencing

Seasonal work days

Fence repair, brush clearing, gate hardware, drainage, and mowing. Bring gloves; we'll bring the post driver.

Skilled trades & admin

Project-based

Carpentry, tractor operation, welding, bookkeeping, photography, and grant writing all directly reduce our costs.

Before you come

Questions we get a lot

Do I need experience with horses?

No. Most volunteer work is teachable in an afternoon, and you will always be paired with someone experienced before handling a horse.

How old do I have to be?

Volunteers 16 and older can work independently. Younger helpers are welcome alongside a parent or guardian.

What should I wear?

Closed-toe boots, long pants, and layers you don't mind ruining. Weather here does not negotiate.

Can I visit without volunteering?

We are a working sanctuary, not a petting zoo, so we schedule visits individually to keep stress on the herd low. Email us and we'll find a time.
