Volunteer With Us at High Horses
Details
Description
High Horses Center for Equine Assisted Services has been serving communities across Vermont and New Hampshire for more than 30 years. Since 1993, we have provided high-quality equine-assisted services that support children, teens, and adults—and we are proud to be a PATH International Premier Accredited Center, maintaining a perfect 100% accreditation score in 2025.
Our programs are impactful, well-established, and growing—and they are only possible because of our volunteers. Whether you’re brand new to horses or have years of experience, there is a place for you here.
