Bob May started volunteering at SAFE in 2021. In 2024, he joined Barn Staff, supporting volunteer chore teams, caring for the horses, and helping maintain the facilities. Growing up in suburban Detroit, his favorite place was “the Farm” in southwest Michigan belonging to family friends, where he first discovered a love of horses. That early experience, combined with more recent inspiration from his sister and her horses, led to him discover SAFE and re-discover his “inner cowboy.” Building on a career in naturopathic medicine and alternative healthcare, he sees the horse-human connection as filled with potential health benefits—and personally finds the work deeply satisfying. Always curious by nature, Bob enjoys continually learning about equine behavior and care and sharing his experience with volunteers and the public.
