Relieve your stress as you care for rescued horses

To the Editor:

Over a year ago, some networking friends I met during my freelance proofreading/editing journey introduced me to Peaceful Acres Horses, a not-for-profit charitable organization founded and run by Nanci Beyerl. It is in Pattersonville, New York — about a half hour from Altamont.

Since I have always loved horses, it was the natural place for me to volunteer.

PAH is dedicated to taking care of formerly at-risk and slaughter-bound equines (horses, mini horses, donkeys, and mules) within a healthy and safe environment. Many of them have become therapy animals who help people deal with trauma, illness, anxiety, etc.

For those who love horses like I do, this is where you can get up close and personal with these wonderful animals. It is a place where you can relieve your stress and restore your calm, even if it’s just for a little while.

If you can find one or two hours a week to devote as a volunteer at PAH, I highly recommend it! Volunteer positions are available for the following: stable and horse care (learned through training and mentorship), administrative duties, community engagement, and fundraising.

To learn more about PAH and how you can support the organization by becoming a volunteer or contributor, please email . You can also visit www.PeacefulAcresHorses.com for additional information.

The horses hope to see you at the farm!
