#86 Ride On St. LouisRide On St. Louis is looking for volunteers to help protect our horses from weeds! Volunteers will work in the pasture to help pull large weeds by the root. Spraying the pasture with herbicide (even those approved for livestock) has potential, harmful side effects. We prefer weeding the old-fashioned way to help support our horses in the best way possible. Work along side friends enjoying the beauty and peace of nature! Our horses will not be in the pasture with you, but will be visible in other areas of the property. Depending on the amount of volunteers and weather, other chores may include digging a small channel to divert water, washing/waxing the horse trailer, or even unloading /stacking hay for those looking to do some heavy lifting! Any help is appreciated at Ride On St. Louis!9:00 AM-1:00 PM6/17
