The HSVC would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Kali Brooks and volunteers from Oaks Restorative Ranch for giving our round horse arena a much-needed makeover! The group came to the shelter on Wednesday, August 21st, to partner with Equine Manager, Christina, on several projects in our barn. The group spent several hours pulling weeds, racking, and leveling the dirt in our round pen, which had become overgrown and soft due to ongoing severe weather. We are so grateful for their time and dedication to helping create a clean and safe place for our horses to exercise!

"One of the goals of Oaks Restorative Ranch is to help the community and part of that is done by supporting other organizations who are already doing incredible work in our community! The Humane Society of Ventura County helps rescue and find homes for thousands of animals each year, and they also rescue and rehabilitate equines. We were thrilled to help out and make a space where the horses can be comfortable exercising as they await their forever homes!" said Oaks Restorative Ranch founder and long-term HSVC volunteer, Kali Brooks. 

After completing a hard day's work, the group got to spend time with several of our horses currently available for adoption. To learn more about our adoptable equines, check out their profiles on MyRightHorse.
