Sidewalkers needed! No horse experience required!
Sidewalkers walk next to the horses during Therapeutic Riding and Hippotherapy lessons, either physically supporting the rider, or assisting him/her to complete tasks. They reinforce the instructor's cues, and are vital to the success of the rider!
We are looking for individuals who can volunteer 1 hr a week anytime Mon-Sat. Daytime availability especially needed!
