LOARC operates almost solely on volunteers. Volunteers are needed to assist during a therapeutic riding lesson to maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for our riders. The duties of a volunteer may include: preparing a horse for the lesson, leading the horse during the lesson, or walking next to the rider during the lessons. Other opportunities are needed in a non-equine capacity as well. Volunteers must be 16 years or older and able to walk for 1-2 hours. All volunteers will go through an orientation and training process before participating in the program.
