Circle F Horse Rescue Society Charity Profile

The Circle F Horse Rescue Society is a registered charitable organization established in 1997.

The founder felt that all horses should have Freedom - freedom from neglect and abuse and freedom to have a good home.

We are governed by a Board of Directors and are member and volunteer based.

Our Purpose:

To care for horses, old or young, that have been abused or neglected.
To provide an alternative to auction or slaughter.
To provide a home for horses that no longer fit in with the owner's plan.
When ready, to place the horses in screened, loving adoptive homes.
To involve and educate volunteers in the care, maintenance and handling of the horses.

Circle F Horse Rescue Society Volunteer Information

Circle F volunteers, all horse lovers, are the true asset to the program. Tasks that are assigned to cover each day and include:

Feeding
Grooming
Medical attention
Handling of the horses
Cleaning facilities
Facility maintenance
Care of tools
Organizational detail


A person wishing to volunteer contacts Circle F. If interested in pursuing a volunteer assignment the potential volunteer will be invited to visit Circle F and receive an orientation. If, at that time, the person wants to follow through they fill out a Volunteer Application Form. Membership in Circle F is five dollars.

The volunteer is then assigned a morning or evening slot which can take from one to two hours to complete. A new volunteer is assigned to another volunteer on a "buddy system" until he or she becomes familiar with the routine.

Volunteers, once oriented, are expected to assume responsibility for their slot and should they not be able to come on the time of their assignment to have their "buddy" fill in for them.

A volunteer coordinator maintains the volunteer schedule, copies of which are available for the volunteer. Schedules are normally posted two months or more in advance.

All volunteers handling horses are expected to become a member of the Horse Council of B.C. if they are not already a member. Membership in HCBC provides liability insurance coverage. A HCBC membership form will be given to the volunteer at the time of orientation and can also be found on the HCBC website.
