NEW Volunteer Training Session!
8/24/15 - 5:30pm-8:30pm
&
8/29/15 - 9:00am-12:00pm
Please join us for a new volunteer training session! Our volunteers assist children/adults with disabilities participating in therapeutic horseback riding lessons. You must attend a training session to begin your journey as a therapeutic riding volunteer. All new volunteers are trained as Sidewalkers.
The primary function of the Sidewalker is to assist the rider in all phases of the lesson. Sidewalkers observe and interact with the client, and also serve as extra eyes and ears for the instructor.
Requirements: pass a background check, at least 14 years old (with parental permission), be able to stand/walk on uneven ground for the 1hr class duration
Please note: If you are completing volunteer hours for school, please ask if your timeline is appropriate for our needs.
Please RSVP your training spot...

Volunteers are an essential part of the Free Rein team. We could not operate our programs without them. Our class schedule is typically Tuesday through Saturday and 140+ lesson volunteers are needed to assist staff in Adaptive Riding and Military Horsemanship Programs.

Description
To abandon oneself in the dance with a horse is to touch the infinite.
- Katie Solisti
Through the rhythm, movement, and personality of a horse, a rider gains physical, mental and social benefits.
People of all ages and disabilities can experience the feeling of controlling a horse, using their mind as well as their muscles in new ways, forming a bond with an animal that can go well beyond the activity of riding.
The advantage of a strong therapeutic riding center is having a place for riders, their families, and volunteers to learn and grow as well as build friendships and have a camaraderie with others in a caring and fun atmosphere.
