Volunteers are essential to the success of a therapeutic riding program. No previous experience is necessary. Volunteers must be at least 16. No need to worry if you are not comfortable around horses. Our instructors will assign you tasks to match your skill and comfort level and teach you everything you need to know about volunteering for St. Croix Trail Blazers.
We are needing to expand lesson times starting early to mid-afternoon on Wednesdays. Volunteers need to be available from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. to assist with bringing horses in, groomed, and tacked for lessons during that time and being a set of extra eyes in the arena.

Mission Statement
The mission of this corporation is to provide horseback riding, training, and competitive sports opportunities to individuals with special needs in a safe learning environment through the adaptive equine experience. The values of this corporation are to: • Have a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental community; • Achieve the highest standards of safety for our participants, staff, and horses; • Provide opportunities for education in the general care of horses; • Enable participants to improve their horseback riding skills to the full extent of their abilities; • Participate as a delegation of Special Olympics Minnesota.
Description
Our program offers adapted riding sessions for ages six and up. We teach the rider the necessary skills to ride a horse as independently as possible. We are not a hippotherapy program where the movement of the horse is a treatment tool for physical, occupational or speech therapy. We do not have leaders or side walkers. Sessions are one hour in length and no more than five riders in a session.
