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 David McCrae. David and his brother Glen have been volunteering at the ranch since the summer of 2019. David is here every week, almost without fail, all year round.
David with Blue
What initially drew you to Allegiance Ranch? I attended a Community Champions presentation at the Erie Recreation Center about Allegiance Ranch (in July 2019). I remember they brought a chicken! It was interesting and I’ve always loved horses. I signed up to volunteer.
What do you find most meaningful or enjoyable about volunteering your time at the ranch? I most enjoy feeding the horses their grain and grooming and walking the horses.
Do you have a favorite rescue horse? Montez has been my favorite for a long time because he’s so calm and gentle. Since Blue came to the ranch, he’s another favorite because he’s also gentle.
What would you tell someone who’s thinking about volunteering at the ranch? I highly recommend it especially if you love horses and want to help veterans.
