Volunteers Needed for Therapeutic Riding Program - Spring 2026

Do you love horses? Love children and being active? Pride Stables has a unique volunteer opportunity for you!

Volunteers are needed to lead horses or side-walk for riders with special needs for our spring session of classes which will run for 8 weeks starting late March. As a leader, you will need the ability to understand and carry out direct instructions. As a side-walker, you will need to comprehend instructions and be able to pass them on to the rider and will also need to physically assist/support the rider if needed. Both positions require physical endurance, good verbal skills and excellent comprehension. No horse experience is necessary; Hands-on orientation training is available. Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older.

We ask our volunteers to commit to at least one class per week.

Classes run Monday-Thursday during the daytime and evenings, and on Saturdays. They are 60 minutes in length, however, volunteers are required to arrive 30 minutes early to groom and tack-up their horse, as well as to untack after class.

New volunteers are asked to attend one of our orientation training sessions.

• Pre-registration for orientation is required*
