Volunteers are at the heart of our program. We make strides because of your passion and hard work! Whether you've been a life-long horseperson or artist or have little to no experience, we can use your help!

​

​

​

Riding Lessons

Volunteers are most needed for lessons, as we require 2 side walkers and 1 leader (3 volunteers!) per horse.

​

​

Art Lessons

Help brighten someone's day! As a volunteer art teacher you will conceive of and/or lead fun art projects with our participants. 

​

​

Barn Hands

Learn what it really means to bond with a horse! Our barn hands water, hay and groom horses as well as mucking stalls and paddocks and cleaning the barn generally.

​

​

Event Planning and Fundraising

We always need help planning fundraising events. Please see our Special Events section for upcoming events, and don't hesitate to contact us with great fundraising ideas!

​

​

Other Skills

If you would like to contribute in any other way, please let us know! Special skills such as photography, videography and carpentry are especially needed!
