Kaiden is our volunteer spotlight of the month for September!

Kaiden has been volunteering with us for about half a year! She is always willing to jump in and help wherever she is needed! She comes and helps out multiple days a week and is a regular volunteer in our school groups, group session, and summer camps! From leading to side-walking to barn chores and helping arrange activities during summer camp, she approaches any task we ask of her with hard work and dedication! She has completed one of our advanced volunteer trainings with Mrs. Jan and loves learning anything she can! We love having her as part of our Hands and Hearts for Horses family!
