Two Volunteer Opportunities-
Side Walkers:
The Side Walker’s primary role is to walk alongside the rider and provide support as
indicated by the instructor. It may be direct physical support, verbal support to reinforce
the instructor’s directions, or acting as a spotter during sessions. One or two side
walkers may be assigned to each rider depending on the rider’s needs.
Lead Walker:
Generally, a volunteer who comes to the program with some
horse knowledge and who feels comfortable leading a horse. Lead walkers are
primarily responsible for the horse and must be aware of the horse’s movement
and behavior at all times. During the session, handle the horse according to the instructor’s direction.
Our lessons require one lead walker and two sidewalkers for each client we serve.
