    Description

    Work With Horses and Help Individuals with Special Needs!

    Children of Promise Stable, Inc., is a Not-For-Profit 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt corporation, that provides professional equine assisted activities and therapies (EAAT) for both children and adults with special needs through a diversified equestrian riding program.

    In order for our program to thrive, we rely on volunteers to assist with riding lessons. Volunteering is a rewarding, as well as an educational experience. We are always looking for committed volunteers to help maintain our facilities, horses and provide assistance to our students.

    Volunteers with equestrian experience, or those who want to learn, can help groom, tack horses, serve as horse leaders, or walk along the rider’s sides in helping to support them. Learning to be a horse leader or side walker helps our riders enjoy a safe and educational riding lesson.

    Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older, and those under 18 years old need written parental consent. Children of Promise Stable provides training to all volunteers. Horse experience is valued but not required.

    We ask all volunteers to pick a day and time frame that they can do consistently. This helps us provide the best experience possible for our riders.

    Weekday lessons run from 3:45pm-5:45pm

    Weekend lessons run from 9:00am-1:15pm
