Our volunteers make everything we do more successful with their selfless donation of time and energy to our mission. We would not be doing the things we're doing today without their help. For anyone interested in volunteering, there is some information below. Please contact us and we'll let you know how you can help.
See what a few of our volunteers have to say about Hooves of Heaven!
Casey Mattke
I grew up with horses in my backyard every day and I never realized how much that meant to me until I was away from them. There is nothing like looking at a horse and feeling like they understand you and what you're feeling; sometimes even better than your closest friend. I volunteer for this organization because I believe in its mission and undescribable influence horses can have on a person's life.
Stephanie Leiker
Hello, my name is Stephanie Leiker. I am a volunteer for Hooves of Heaven. For the past 7 years I have been riding horses on the Mattke's ranch. I feel privileged to be a part of Hooves of Heaven because it is a strong program that makes a difference in many lives. I hope I can share with the people I meet my passion for horses and how they affect your life. Horses have helped point out my strengths and weaknesses and helped me improve on both.
Elizabeth Leiker
Hi, I am Elizabeth Leiker. I am 14 years old and a volunteer for Hooves of Heaven. Seven years ago, I started riding on the Mattke ranch and I feel blessed to be a part of this program as it is very beneficial to all the people who participate in it. Even though I have been riding horses for over half of my life, I still cannot explain my love and passion for them. I hope everyone will be able to experience what I have.

Volunteer Information
Volunteering with Hooves of Heaven is going to make a difference in your life and the lives of others. You are going to be asked to commit to our mission. Whether we are on a trail ride or entertaining a group for an EEL session, our volunteers can and do have a significant impact on the success of the event. Expect to find yourself in situations where you will be challenged and asked to do things you may not have done before. An open mind to learn new things and a willingess to do anything you are asked is a must. We will make sure you are never in a position where you feel uncomfortable and we count on your judgement to remove yourself from a situation where you start to feel uncomfortable. There are things that happen in the course of conducting our events that may make you emotional or otherwise negatively impact your ability to be focused on the event. It is your responsibility to know your limits and handle yourself appropriately. We will conduct a formal training with all of our volunteers and get into the details of our volunteer program more thoroughly.
If you would like to volunteer, please visit the Contact Us page and tell us a little about yourself. We will set up a time to talk with you in detail about our volunteer program and determine exactly what activities you would fit best with. We are continually doing more things and we would appreciate your help.
