ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT
Lola is ready for her forever home. This 14h, 7 year old Saddlebred cross pony has potential as a riding partner and is already beginner safe for all ground work and handling. We will assess her under saddle soon. If you're experienced and knowledgeable, Lola would make a wonderful training project. We'll continue working her, but come see her now and fall in love! Adoption fee: $1200
New VEWS Merchandise
Our first in-take at our Glen Allen location, Twix, is eating well and has a strong spirit. Twix has not had an easy life, but is now enjoying lots of TLC. His care and maintenance are expensive but this sweet senior gelding deserves it. Please consider donating to Twix's care today.
VEWS VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH SPOTLIGHT
JULY
Please join us in celebrating Camryn Goodrich, VEWS Volunteer of the Month for July!
Camryn has been a VEWS volunteer since February 2025. Camryn is so many things that make VEWS a better place! She is reliable, always willing to pitch in and work, to learn more, practice skills, and take constructive criticism like an adult. She is positive, motivated, knows what needs to be done and does it. She is dedicated to VEWS, volunteering on two shifts each week, and serves as a shift lead on one of those shifts. She is a real asset to have on our team!
Thank you, Camryn, for all you do for VEWS and VEWS horses!
In Camryn's words:"When I came to VEWS I had zero experience with horses at all! I always knew, even as a child that I loved horses, I watched Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron enough times to drive my mom certifiably insane! I never got a chance to ride horses in my childhood, but I knew I didn't need to ride them to be around them. I found VEWS through a google search and by the end of the day, I had my orientation scheduled. VEWS taught me everything from the ground up! It's been such a joy, getting to spend my mornings with the horses and my wonderful crew-mates, it begs the question, who really rehabilitates who? I've learned so much about trust, emotional intelligence, and love at VEWS! So much so, that I have two shifts! The love is palpable here, I'm honored to be a part of it :3"
