Ruby Ranch gladly welcomes volunteers most days of the week. Please call first (719-541-3642) to be sure that we are around and that the weather is cooperating. We are particularly in need of experienced horse people to handle and exercise some of our horses and to help train some of our youngsters but there are always a number of tasks to do including grooming, mucking and hand-grazing. Below are pictures of the fun we have with our horses and volunteers.

Ruby Ranch Horse Rescue was the lucky recipient of the services of 40 Air Force cadets. These amazing young men and women helped us recover from the damages incurred from a tornado. Three crews cleared broken branches, resurfaced stalls and pens, scraped and painted three structures and performed other tasks to help make our horses safe and comfortable. We have only praise for the work ethic of these young people in completing these tasks with determination as well as fun. A huge thank you to Major Jimmy Dobbs, cadets Ben Pelayo and Lauren Kerdavid and all of the cadets, as well as our trusty volunteers, Irene, Mike, Michelle and Frank.
