Volunteer Stories/Awards

McKenna Farms is grateful to all of the volunteers. See what they have to say about us:

I volunteer at McKenna Farms because...

"I enjoy taking care of these noble horses who turn into gentle giants with a child on their back.

I like seeing the expressions of joy on a child’s face as they experience the movements and motions of their

horse. I love the feeling I have after giving some time and effort to such a great cause!"

"I recently retired from teaching kindergarten and special needs children. Coming to McKenna Farms allows me

to be near children and help with their learning. I love seeing the improvements of the children every week as

they get more comfortable being on a horse. Since I used to own my own horses, McKenna Farms fills

my desire of working with both children and horses. I just love being here!"
