Volunteering as a Group
With over 40 acres of land, multiple barns and riding arenas, Equest welcomes groups looking to have a community day of service. We can accommodate groups from two to 150 adults and will strive to align projects with group goals and preferences, to the best of our ability and needs. We do require advanced notice to prepare for a large group and companies must provide proof of liability insurance. If the work day includes lunch, food must be provided by the company/group.
