Hero Horse is always looking for great volunteers like you to help us. You can help in equine assisted activities (sometimes called therapeutic riding). If you are at least 18, you could also feed the horses, Plus we need volunteers to maintain the barn, help at special events, fundraisers, committees and office tasks.
Our lessons are 6 weeks long and go from January through mid-December. We have lessons 6 days a week, with evening, daytime, and weekend times available.
You do not need to have any experience working with people with disabilities and special needs or horses. We will give you all the training you need to do your role confidently. We follow current CDC COVID guidelines.
Looking to learn more about horses? We offer trainings throughout the year to all of our volunteers to give back to you. It is a great way to learn more.
We look forward to working with you - and so do our riders and horses!

Mission Statement
It is the mission, and purpose of Hero Horse Therapeutic Riding Center to inspire and improve the overall well-being of individuals of all ages who have special needs by partnering them with one of our hero horses trained in equine assisted therapies. Our focus is on possibilities, not disabilities; empowering those we serve by providing a welcoming, healing environment. Some heroes wear capes, ours wear saddles.
Description
We are a newly founded organization with the goal of reaching as many people as we are able to serve! We will utilize equine assisted learning and equine assisted therapies to help individuals achieve short term and long term goals. We offer classes to people with special needs from age 6 to adult. Needs can be cognitive, physical disabilities or even a combination of both.
