Just a few important notes…
All volunteers must be at least 14 years of age. This is an insurance requirement and does not allow for any exceptions.
All volunteers must be able to walk in the sand for at least 30 minutes. We ask our horses to have a forward walk as this is better for our riders. This can be challenging to keep up with as the arena is filled with soft sand.
This is NOT a “drop in” activity. We ask our volunteers to make a commitment to volunteer for at least 2 hours once a week for 7 weeks (one session). Our volunteers are essential—if you aren't present, our riders might not be able to ride. We do, of course, arrange subs for planned absences, however if you cannot volunteer for the majority of the session then this is not the opportunity for you.
Volunteer shifts are primarily in the late afternoons/evenings. Most of our program participants have jobs or go to school. So, our lessons usually take place on weekday afternoons and evenings. We do not offer weekend programming at this time.
Our programming runs year round, however we take the coldest (Jan-Feb) and hottest (July-August) months of the year off. We do not offer summer only volunteering opportunities at this time.
