    Description

    Horse lesson volunteer for Therapeutic riding lessons

    Riding with Hope is seeking Horse handlers (leading the horse) and Side walkers (walking beside the horse supporting the student) for 45-minute group and 30-minute private horse-riding lessons for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Volunteers must be 16 years or older. Horse experience is not needed, as we love to teach! Classes are 10 am, 2 pm, 4 pm Monday through Thursday. We have two sessions with weekly lessons: Spring is March through May, and Fall is August through October. If you are interested in helping with barn chores, there are year-round opportunities.

    Our goal is to provide equine-assisted services to contribute to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being. A disability doesn't limit someone in sports; we provide working and riding horses!
