 I recognize that Hearts Landing Ranch is an organization that serves children and families.  Because of this, I agree to dress appropriately, modestly and professionally while on the Ranch property.  I understand as a volunteer, I am freely giving of my time in service to Hearts Landing Ranch and I have no expectation of compensation or payment of any kind.
Participation & Volunteering at Hearts Landing Ranch is a privilege. By making a commitment to volunteer, horses and people suffer when you don't show.  I recognize that the administration of the Ranch reserves the right to remove this privilege at any time for any reason.
