VOLUNTEER
Join our team! We here at So Cal Mini are always looking for eager helpers to keep up with the day to day operation! If you're interested in helping, please complete the contact form below and someone will get back to you...and schedule your orientation!
Age Restrictions
*Mini horses may be small, but they are still horses and can weigh upwards of 300 pounds! While they may look cute and cuddly, they can get rowdy and that can be dangerous for those unfamiliar being around horses and especially children. Some of our minis have come from abusive homes and we are working tirelessly to re-socialize them, so treating the minis with the utmost care and patience is required — volunteering is not a game.
*As such, So Cal Mini cannot accept volunteers age 18 or under.
