Ready Set Ride volunteers are an integral part of the therapy sessions.

If you love horses, kids, or just want to be outside a bit more, this is the perfect opportunity for you! Barn chores can be a workout like no other, working with horses can be a hands-on class in animal behavior and working with our special needs riders is a life-changing experience.


We currently have an increased need for: barn chores, mucking stalls, bathing horses, grooming, feeding, fence repair, "handyman" work, organizing storage and tack rooms.

Have other skills to share? Let us know and we can find an opportunity for you in our program!
