Weekday Program Volunteers for Therapeutic horseback riding lessons

Program volunteers are a vital part of the therapy team. They prepare the horse for the lesson, assist the instructor in the lesson by leading the horse or sidewalking with the rider, and care for the horse after the lesson concludes. Program volunteers commit to a specific lesson or lessons for the duration of an eight-week session, (typically 1.5 hours a week) which allows the same team of horse, rider, instructor, and volunteers to work together to achieve the rider's goals. All program volunteers must be at least 14 years of age and must participate in a volunteer training session.
