Horse Leaders - Horse leaders lead our horses in the arena. It is the job of the Horse Leader to maintain the safety of the horse at all times. Horse leaders must not have a fear of horses and be willing to get up close and personal with the horse. Horse leaders must help the horse follow the instructor’s direction. Being a horse leader is an 8-week commitment for 1-hour per week.
Side Walkers - Side walkers help ensure the safety of our participants. They walk beside our riders as they are on their horses in the arena. The job of the side walker is to help maintain the balance of the rider when he cannot do so for himself, to clarify instructions and directions when needed, and to provide reassurance and
encouragement to the rider. The instructor helps the side walker learn how to best support the rider. Being a side walker is an 8-week commitment for 1-hour per week.
