Horse leaders are responsible for leading our horses during the lesson time. Some of their responsibilities include warming the horse up for class, tuning in to the horse’s personality and attitude for the day, and keeping the equine and rider safe during the lesson. This is a great spot for you if you have a horse of your own currently or if you have had experience with horses in the past. Training is given to all volunteers prior to being brought onto the job.
For the volunteers that want to be able to work directly with the riders, this is the best job for you. Side walkers are the part of the team that is responsible for the riders and helping them throughout the lesson. You are there for physical, emotional, and social support at any level that each rider needs. You help riders stay on task, follow instructions and have a safe and enjoyable ride!
For those volunteers who want to really get up close and personal with the horses and/or increase their horse handling skills, this is the perfect job. These volunteers provide special horse and stall care for their assigned horse each week. To become part of the Barn Team, volunteers MUST attend the Barn Orientation.
We always need volunteers who are willing to help plan and implement fundraising and other special events. These are fun and rewarding opportunities to be creative and really bring a project to fruition. Such events make an impact in drawing the community’s attention and support.
From painting, to irrigating, to building fences, to cleaning and everything in between we have endless volunteer opportunities for handy individuals or groups that want to work together on a project.
If you possess skills or professional/technical experience that may benefit us, such as photography, grant writing, computer knowledge, etc., we encourage you to contact us.
Whether school or community required, arranged by your church group or any other group, volunteering is a great way to give back to your community.
