During riding session:
- Volunteers assist with getting horses ready, no experience necessary, prior to class or one-on-one with a client.
- During the class the volunteer may assist the rider by working as a horse leader and assisting the rider with control of their horse.
- The volunteer may also work as a side walker. This person assists the rider with their position on the horse, provide help with the directions the instructor has given, and in one on one activities on or off the horse.
Behind the scenes:
Volunteers help in so many ways behind the scenes. Some of our volunteers work specifically on special events. They may volunteer specifically from their home on organizational work for fundraisers or making phone calls for special events. Other volunteers work on the maintenance of the arena or help with trailering horses to special events our clients participate in.
Volunteers are also needed to work on creating teaching tools and implementing new ideas in the arena facility. This is a great way for the individuals who like to tinker in their garage after work in an effort to unwind to volunteer without committing more time away from home. We need you ‘tinker-ers’.
