Description
Pride Stables is looking for volunteers to help with our riding programs this Fall.
Volunteers are needed to lead horses or side-walk for riders with special needs. No prior horse experience necessary. Volunteers must be 15 years old or older. As a leader, you need the ability to understand & carry out direct instructions. As a side-walker, you need to comprehend instructions & pass them onto the rider & may also need to physically assist/support the rider. Both positions require physical endurance, verbal skills, and excellent English comprehension.
Volunteers are asked to commit to 90 minutes once a week for the 8 week session. We offer classes Monday-Thursday during the day and evenings and on Saturdays. All new volunteers must attend a 2-hour orientation session where we will teach you everything you need to know.
