Join us at the farm this year!
Come check out New Canaan Mounted Troop’s - Super Troopers Program! Volunteers are a huge part of our program that provides equine therapeutic services to children and adults with disabilities. No horse experience necessary. Volunteers must be 14 years or older.
Volunteers are needed for Fall Equine Care Program, where volunteers are paired with students to assist with unmounted class activities with our horses in the barn. Our Equine Care classes are 60 min long and held on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday between 10-11, 11-12 or 1-2pm.
Volunteer Orientations are coming up on September 28th, October 5th and October 12th. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Felicia Gray Alford at volunteer@newcanaanmountedtroop.org

Mission Statement
New Canaan Mounted Troop Inc. ("NCMT") mission is to build leadership, responsibility and confidence in youth through sound horsemanship and to enrich the lives of individuals with special needs through equine assisted activities.
Description
The Super Troopers programs provide equine therapeutic services to children and adults with special needs, with the assistance of PATH International certified instructors and dedicated volunteers. NCMT has an ADA compliant facility that successfully accommodates students with disabilities. Troopers aged 14 and older are encouraged to volunteer for Super Troopers. NCMT exclusively relies on donated horses and ponies to provide our services. Many of them stepped down from successful show careers or came to us through our alumni, donors, and friends. Troopers provides daily assistance to help care for them. This feature alone encourages collaboration between our students. Our barn is open all year, 7 days a week, except holidays. See Less
