Volunteer Information

Our Volunteers like to go the extra mile!

Circle F volunteers, all horse lovers, are the true asset to the program. Tasks that are assigned to cover each day and include:

• Feeding
• Grooming
• Medical attention
• Handling of the horses
• Cleaning facilities
• Facility maintenance
• Care of tools
• Organizational detail

You can find more information about the qualities and duties of a Circle F volunteer in our Volunteer Orientation.

A person wishing to volunteer contacts Circle F. If interested in pursuing a volunteer assignment the potential volunteer will be invited to visit Circle F and receive an orientation. If, at that time, the person wants to follow through they fill out a Volunteer Application Form. Membership in Circle F is five dollars.

The volunteer is then assigned a morning or evening slot which can take from one to two hours to complete. A new volunteer is assigned to another volunteer on a "buddy system" until he or she becomes familiar with the routine.

Volunteers, once oriented, are expected to assume responsibility for their slot and should they not be able to come on the time of their assignment to have their "buddy" fill in for them.

A volunteer coordinator maintains the volunteer schedule, copies of which are available for the volunteer. Schedules are normally posted two months or more in advance.

All volunteers are expected to fill out a waver form as a requirement for Circle F to receive liability insurance coverage. In addition, volunteers are encouraged to take out membership with Horse Council B.C. , if not already a member. To follow through on HCBC membership it can also be found on the HCBC website.
