The Horse Park is a non-profit organization and we rely on volunteers to help us operate and keep our costs low.
Here are just some of the areas where volunteer help is always needed:

- Accounting/bookkeeping
- On-Site Park ambassador
- Special event committees

- Fundraising (including the Gala Committee)
- Mailings, phone calls
