Omg!! That is so funny. But I’m sorry you were unable to volunteer there 😭 That absolutely does not sound like a good combo with your allergies. Hope you are able to find another place 😄

I have a perfect place for you guys!

Hidden Acres Therapeutic Riding Barn in Naugatuck.

I used to volunteer there bc I grew up horseback riding and missed spending time with horses now that I’m an adult, but didn’t want to pay for lessons. It was honestly therapeutic for me too, loved helping with lessons there.

It’s a barn that specializes in therapeutic riding lessons for anyone who needs them. Many of the riders are children with various needs.

You don’t need horse experience to volunteer. I haven’t been there in a little while because life got busy but it’s a great place! If it’s not nearby for you, perhaps look up other therapy barns in the state.
