Whatever your interests, whatever your
skills,
we have a place for you!
Volunteers are vital to achieving helping us achieve our
goals at Riding High Farm. It is through their
dedication and hard work that we are able to bring the
benefits of therapeutic riding and equine activities to a
broad range of individuals in our community.
You don't have to know a lot about horses to be a volunteer
at Riding High Farm. In addition to working
directly with horses, there are a number of other ways to
assist. Perhaps one of these volunteer opportunities would
be of interest to you. Training is provided, of course!
-
Program volunteers:
help grooming and saddling horses before a lesson,
leading or side-walking horses during a lesson, offering
the rider encouragement and a helping hand during the
lesson. and help putting the horses up at the end of a
lesson. (Training is provided for program related
activities).
