Stella Therapy Riding in Pompton Plains NJ is looking for volunteers to assist with therapeutic horseback riding lessons. This is a very rewarding program to be involved in. You will learn about horses and at the same time help a student learn how to ride horses.
Sessions run throughout the year. In the late spring we host our Stella Showcase which is a yearly show we organize giving our riders the opportunity to showcase their talents to all of their family and friends.
Volunteers must have the reliability, strength, endurance and communication skills necessary to assist participants during lesson activities.
Each prospective volunteer must participate in a brief volunteer orientation prior to assisting in a sessions.
Our next volunteer orientation will be August 26, 2019!

Mission Statement
Stella Therapy Riding provides riding lessons to students and adults with emotional and physical challenges. The benefits of therapeutic riding have been recognized for many years. It is a proven method of increasing the physical, mental, emotional and developmental capabilities for individuals with disabilities, functional limitations or medical issues. There is a healing interaction between horses, riders and the people who help them. In addition to riding, Stella Riding students are involved with many aspects of horse care, from grooming and bathing to tacking up before a lesson and untacking when the lesson is finished. The bond between the horse and student begins, literally, from the ground up.
