    Description

    Therapeutic Horse Back Riding  (Barn or Office Volunteer)

    Volunteers (15 years and older) work with our staff to build a team that helps care for our horses, prepare the horses for the lesson, and assist the instructor during the lesson (by leading the horse or sidewalking with the rider) as well as a variety of additional barn tasks. No experience is necessary...we will train.

    Program volunteers commit to a specific lesson or lessons for the duration of the 8 to 14 week session, which allows the same team of horse, rider, instructor, and volunteers to work together to achieve the rider’s goals.

    Whether you are an enthusiast with many years of horse experience or come with no experience and would like to learn more, join us and share in the miracles that happen at Walk On.

    Walk On needs regular volunteers between the hours of:

    Monday and Wednesday: 9 a.m. -12 Noon

    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: 3 p.m. - 6p.m.

    Saturdays: 9 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

    The barn is closed on Sundays

    We need volunteers in our administration office too!

    Assistance is always needed with data entry, filing and many other miscellaneous tasks. Volunteer with us any day Monday through Friday between 10:00am - 1:00pm
