Pony Power Therapies is looking for volunteers to assist in therapeutic horse-back riding lessons as side walkers and lead walkers for our Summer Semester! Under the supervision of a certified riding instructor, the side walker walks next to the horse to provide support to the rider as needed. Lead walkers are responsible for handling the horse during lessons and only those with previous horse experience will be assigned as lead walkers. Lessons run Monday through Thursday beginning on Monday, June 25th and runs through to August 23rd. Lesson times are as follows:

Morning Sessions: 8:45 to 10:45AM (except June 25th to 28th: 8:45AM to 12:15PM)

Afternoon Sessions: 2:30 to 6:00PM

Volunteer Handbook, application and schedule will be emailed to you and application needs to be returned to our office prior to registering for a volunteer training class.
