Therapeutic Horseback Riding Volunteers Needed

No horse experience needed! Volunteers must be 13+ years old. After training, you will be able to assist riders with disabilities during their horseback riding lessons. Volunteers must commit to ~ 2 hours per week during an 8-week session. You will work with the same rider & horse during the entire session. Most volunteers are side walkers, meaning that you walk next to the rider during their lesson to provide the level of support they need - whether that's holding their ankle for balance or just walking alongside and helping them stay focused.

Volunteers who demonstrate the necessary level of skill & experience lead the horse during lessons. Volunteer classes are offered to increase horse skills.

Training offered July 20 & 20, Oct. 5 & 6, Dec. 14 & 15. Contact to sign up!

Other volunteer opportunities which require additional training are for Therapeutic Carriage Driving & Interactive Vaulting. See our website at www.reinsoflife.org for more info.
