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 Jody Stibley.

What initially drew you to Allegiance Ranch? What drew me to the ranch was the animals and the mission to support military and first responders.
What do you find most meaningful or enjoyable about volunteering your time at the ranch? When I first arrive on Wednesday morning, I enjoy hearing hellos and good mornings from my fellow volunteers. Just being around positive energy is enjoyable. Hearing stories from some of the volunteers and just being there knowing I am helping in some way grounds me.
Do you have a favorite rescue horse? I do seem to gravitate towards Compass and the goats. Compass is so docile; he makes me take a deep breath and just be in the moment. The goats are fun to play with especially when you scratch there back and watch their tails go crazy.
What would you tell someone who’s thinking about volunteering at the ranch? Find out the story about the ranch and its mission…their programs for our military and first responders. I have volunteered for 2 years now and am always learning something new.
