Lesson Volunteers

Lesson volunteers commit about 2 hours per week per Quarter. New volunteers must attend volunteer training. Volunteers help students groom, tack and care for horses and either lead horses or serve as “sidewalkers” to help balance students. We promise you that the rewards of being a volunteer far outweigh the work you do! To express our appreciation to volunteers, a few slots are open each Quarter for volunteers to take riding lessons. To help each volunteer succeed beyond volunteer training we have volunteers at different levels that are able to help out with volunteers when the instructor is busy. For more information fill out the form below.
