Like the Little Red Hen, NetPosse Does It All

When Few Help, the Work Falls on the Few: A Look at Volunteers with Stolen Horse International – Help Horses Now

Running a nonprofit dedicated to recovering stolen horses is no small task. At Stolen Horse International, our mission is clear: help horse owners reunite with their beloved animals. But the reality behind the alerts, investigations, and outreach is far from simple—and often falls on just a few dedicated volunteers.

It reminds us of the classic children’s story, The Little Red Hen. In the story, the hen wants to make bread but none of her friends offer to help. In the end, she does all the work herself. Similarly, at Stolen Horse International, many people express interest in helping, yet very few actually volunteer. While supporters may “offer” their help in spirit or on social media, the hands-on work—from researching leads, contacting authorities, to managing alerts—falls on a small, tireless team.

This lack of volunteer support means every alert, every investigation, and every effort to reunite a stolen horse with its family is made more difficult. Just like the Little Red Hen, our team carries the bulk of the workload because too few step forward to help.

Volunteers Make a Difference in Recovering Horses

We need more hands, more eyes, and more hearts willing to take action. Every volunteer makes a real difference—whether it’s managing social media alerts, tracking tips, or assisting in investigations. Without that support, the horses—and the families who love them—wait longer than they should.

We rely on volunteers for horse-related opportunities, from managing missing horse alerts to assisting with investigations and social media outreach. Every volunteer makes a real difference in helping stolen horses come home safely. Your support ensures that families don’t have to wait longer than necessary to be reunited with their beloved animals.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something meaningful, there’s no better time to step up. Don’t be a bystander; be part of the team that actually helps. Because when it comes to recovering stolen horses, doing it alone is not enough. Learn more about our volunteer opportunities.
