Where can a 16 year old volunteer with horses in the Greenville, South Carolina area?

I live in Florida now and currently volunteer to help horses here, and now that I am moving to South Carolina I want to find somewhere in that area that I can continue volunteering with horses. I would like to be hands on with the horses and please keep my age in mind of 16 years.

Go to www.narha.org and you can look and see if there are any therapy riding centers in the area. I work with horses and people with special needs and I love it. Its the most rewarding thing i have ever experienced. I have volunteered there for 3 years now.

Also some large animal vets take in volunteers you could try that.

When old horses fight back!! RIP Kelly Bear
