Last Chance Corral

Last Chance Corral is a place that offers shelter and help to horses that have been neglected, abandoned or abused. They offer psychological and/or physiological help to these animals. Most of the horses that stay at the Last Chance Corral have been given away because the owners either could not or did not want to care for them anymore. Full-time employees provide treatment and care to the animals, while volunteers help with the maintenance and necessary duties of running a shelter.

A lot of times, by the time the horses reach the Last Chance Corral they have not received the kind of love they need to be healthy and happy. Last Chance offers a place where they are constantly surrounded by loving volunteers and staff members who work to rehabilitate them. After they are healthy enough to move on, Last Chance finds the horses a home that suits their needs and skill level.

Every Sunday morning a group of volunteers from APhiO goes to the barn at the Last Chance Corral. They help clean the barn and sweep out the stalls. I know, this does not sound like the ideal way to spend a lazy Sunday morning, but the volunteers who go once usually return on a regular basis. Not only are they making it possible for the Last Chance to function, but they also get to spend time with the horses and bond with fellow volunteers.
