NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO BE A HERO! PFP utilizes their horses in a variety of ways to help individuals with special needs overcome their challenges via hippotherapy, vaulting, independent riding, and on the ground activities among others. Volunteers are needed DAILY, primarily for leading the horses and sidewalking with the riders.

Although there are many breeds of horses to use, PFP uses quarter horses due to their quiet disposition, and varying sizes. There are only a couple of exceptions - our Shire, Rupert, who weighs about 1,800 lbs (don’t let his size fool you...he really loves kids); our 2 Haflingers, our 2 mini donkeys, and our 2 mini goats.

Along with the everyday programs, PFP also has some show teams. There is the Special Olympics team that travels to the state meet every fall, and the NSBA team which travels regionally to some top AQHA shows, as well as the world show in Tulsa, OK. The program is always changing and could only benefit from having new people join!

So, come be a HERO to someone with special needs and make some new friends as well!

The holidays can be an especially difficult time for survivors of domestic violence who’ve been forced to leave behind their homes and belongings. So, each year we provide gifts for 125+ families in our programs via our Holiday Store program!

In December, parents come to Raphael House and “shop” for free gifts for themselves and their children. This requires the help of hundreds of community members over several days.

Help us break down our holiday store and inventory the items we'll use to support survivors throughout the year to come. *Please note that this opportunity takes place at our confidential location, which is not the same as the mailing address listed here. The volunteer coordinator will call you to disclose this location to you approximately one week before the event. All new volunteers must sign a confidentiality agreement upon arrival. Thank you for your understanding and support!
