O.A.T.S. is an equestrian therapeutic riding center for people of all ages with special needs. We have over 100 clients who come each week to ride our horses. We need volunteers for our classes, which are held 5 days a week. Our class volunteers will either lead a horse or 'side walk' with a rider. Some of our riders require 3 volunteers to enable them to ride, so we need lots of volunteers! We also have a program for our wounded warriors, called Horses for Heroes.
