    Description

    Volunteers are needed who can assist with riding classes for children and adults with physical, mental and/or emotional challenges. We are looking for people who can be consistent in coming to help our riders. Volunteers are trained to lead horses, be a safety side aide, tack and untack horses, assist in helping riders achieve their goals and help riders mount and dismount.

    We have ceased riding at the Peoria/Glendale site. However we are offering those classes at our site in New River and we would love your help. It's a bit further away, but our riders sure appreciate your assistance.

    We want you to come and play. Get your steps in and learn about horses and help challenged riders needing assistance. Join us from mid-September to the end of May, Wednesdays, mid-afternoon to early evening. Leave a phone number or e-mail address you'll answer so we can connect.

    BUT - - - If it's June, July or August - come help us out in New River. JUNE, JULY and AUGUST we ride in New River on TUESDAYS - from 4:30 - 7:45 PM

    But, please, we are looking for people who will come and help out. If that's not you - thank you for checking us out.
