How can I help?
Putting people with special needs on horseback is challenging. It takes a few highly trained horses and a lot of carefully trained people. Safety is an inflexible goal. Dedicated volunteers assist our instructors, who are specially trained and certified through North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA).
We need volunteers to walk next to the riders and to lead the horses. Knowledge of horses is helpful but not essential. What is more important is a willingness to be a consistent presence in the life of a person with disabilities. We ask our volunteers to serve one or two hours per week .
