There are many good reasons for seniors to volunteer for Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society in Texas or at similar horse rescues in other areas. According to Dr. Jennifer Williams, Executive Director at Bluebonnet, the top reasons are:
- Seniors fostering horses can do that for a limited time and get a fostering stipend to offset some of the costs of having horses.
- Seniors volunteering in other ways can be involved in promoting the welfare of horses without the responsibilities and costs of owning horses. If you have a skill or interest, there's probably something you can do to help horses in rescue transition to a new and better life.
If you're interested in supporting Bluebonnet in some way, please visit their website at Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society.
