Never Say Never is the home to horses, ponies, and a variety of other loving animals that bring joy and healing to many children and their families through the work of caring volunteers.
We are in need of volunteers to side walk and horse lead for our equine assisted activities during our Spring and Fall sessions with our riders with disabilities. Our riding times are Thursday afternoons/early evenings and Saturday mornings/early afternoons. No experience is needed! We will train you! We also have additional opportunities to volunteer such as barn chores, Summer Camp counselors, and more!

Description
Never Say Never Stables is the home to horses, ponies and a variety of other loving animals who bring joy, hope, and healing to many children and their families through the work of Never Say Never Foundation.

Our volunteer staff assist children in riding, petting, grooming, feeding, and handling the horses. Our volunteers are special, and without them this unique program would not be possible.
