Volunteers are needed to lead horses for our riders as they participate in their therapeutic riding lessons. All riders have a disability of some sort, but volunteers need not have experience with individuals with disabilities. Instructors will provide clear instructions on how to assist each rider - some riders need just a spotter, others need the leader to be more involved. All leaders must have extensive experience handling horses on the ground in a variety of settings. Adult volunteers must pass a background check. Classes are offered Monday-Thursday evenings from 6-9pm, Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 9am-1pm and Thursday afternoons from 1:30-3:30. Classes are offered year round. Volunteers come once a week and work with the same riders each week.
