    Description

    Therapeutic Riding Lessons Volunteer

    Stockhands Horses for Healing was founded in 2014 based on the belief that horses have the power to heal. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides equine-assisted therapeutic services to children and adults living with mental, physical, and emotional challenges arising from a wide range of diagnoses, including PTSD, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

    We rely on our volunteers to assist with our adaptive riding lessons, maintain our large facility, and care for our herd of 30+ horses. If you do not have to have any experience working with horses or people with disabilities - we will teach you everything you need to know.

    All volunteers must attend a new volunteer training session where we will tour our facilities, introduce you to some of our horses, and teach you how to assist students during lessons.
