We are starting a Friday class for Veterans from 3-5 pm and we are looking for Volunteers to help prepare the horses for this class. Some Veterans will be riding and some will work with the horses from the ground (grooming, walking and grazing). If you have horse experience, we would like to train you to be a horse handler. If you don't have horse experience we can still use you to assist the Instructor and the Veteran. We will hold a volunteer training session for the individuals that sign up.

Location:

Mission Statement
Saddle Light Center (SLC) is a community oriented non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide equestrian therapy for children, teenagers, and adults that have a disability including: neurological, orthopedic, learning, and emotional as well as a wide range of others. Our goal is to inspire our riders to accomplishments previously considered beyond their capabilities.
Description
Saddle Light Center was founded in May of 1991 for the purpose of providing horse-based therapy for individuals with a wide range of disabilities. Because of the strength, balance, and coordination developed through horse back riding, participants often find that other physical tasks such as walking become possible. Therapy on horseback is fun while providing significant physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Riders are scheduled on weekday afternoons and evenings.
