This is the place we introduce the wonderful members of our Allegiance community who help make our mission to help horses and heroes possible. Today we’re introducing Lori Lindemann.
What initially drew you to Allegiance Ranch? I was initially drawn to Allegiance Ranch & Equine Rescue because they support two things I’ve been very passionate about throughout my life…heroes & horses. I am honored to support those who keep, have kept, our country safe and free and the first responders who protect and serve all of us daily. Additionally, to rescue a horse, give it a wonderful, magical place to call home, love it, support it in trusting humans again…well…really do I need to say any more?!
What do you find most meaningful or enjoyable about volunteering your time at the ranch? The most meaningful and enjoyable part of being a part of Allegiance Ranch team is far and away the people who founded it, Dan, Gloria and Gaby. They had a vision, a mission, and it’s an honorable, remarkable one that I can so easily align myself with. As remarkable as they are, so are the staff & volunteers I’ve had the good fortune to meet, work along side, get to know. They are the type of people who become family quickly. All working together to support our organization and everyone and everything there. Ego’s don’t exist out there. True respect, desire to teach, desire to learn, friendliness, professionalism are some of the ways I can describe “us”!
Do you have a favorite rescue horse? Honestly, I LOVE every animal out there. I love the horses, mini horses, mini donkeys, goats, chickens, cats, dogs, the hawks that soar and screech above, the eagles gliding through the skies, the geese honking as they fly along…they’re all my favorite!
What would you tell someone who’s thinking about volunteering at the ranch? I hope that anyone who has the gift of time to share, will come out and see for themselves the heaven on earth that I have found. My family & friends tell me that my smile isn’t ever as big as when they see me (photos) out at Allegiance Ranch. It’s a place that you can volunteer with no skills other than a willingness to learn and support heroes & horses. There are many things a person can do to support this organization besides working directly with the animals, although that’s my main “thing”. Dan & Gloria can speak to other opportunities for volunteering. There is something at Allegiance Ranch for everyone I believe. I have never been more fulfilled, and have the expectation of continuing to learn & support this organization forever.
