UCP Saddle Pals Volunteer Training

Saddle Up! Are you interested in helping others live a life without limits? Enjoy being outdoors? Love horses? This is the job for you! No previous horse experience is required!

About Saddle Pals: UCP Saddle Pals provides weekly adapted horsemanship lessons to people with disabilities, age 4 and up. This program promotes growth, independence, and improved quality of life for program participants. Horseback riding is more than just fun- it can help improve coordination, balance, and posture. Additionally, our participants develop better self awareness and self esteem through interacting with our horses and PATH-certified instructors.
