Cheff Logo

The Cheff Center is continuously looking for individuals with a passion for helping others! Horse experience is NOT required to be involved in our therapeutic riding classes as a sidewalker/talker. Sidewalkers are some of the most important people in our program - working face to face with our clientele to support them in grooming, tacking, and completing their riding lesson to the best of their ability! Sidewalkers are an extension of the instructor, reiterating instructor comments to their client and encouraging them to push themselves during their time with us!
