Description
Pride Stables is looking for volunteers to support our riding programs during the Fall Session. Volunteers will assist riders with disabilities by either leading horses or side-walking alongside riders during classes.

No prior horse experience is necessary. Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older and able to understand and follow instructions. Side-walkers must also be able to communicate instructions to riders and provide physical assistance or support when needed.

Both roles require physical endurance, strong verbal communication skills, and excellent English comprehension.
