Join the Club: Volunteer with Pony Pals! 

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Pony Pals Therapeutic Riding Association (PPTRA) in Delta, BC!

Volunteering at our barn isn’t just a weekly task, it’s a true lifestyle experience. Our volunteers enjoy a peaceful country atmosphere, incredible mental health benefits, and a chance to find their own sense of serenity while making a tangible difference in the community. Whether you are a lifelong equestrian or have never touched a horse before, there is a place for you in our herd.

Together, we work every day to prove that for our amazing riders, potential is completely unlimited!

Discover Your Role at the Barn

We have project-based, skill-specific opportunities tailored to your interests and comfort level:

• Classes & Side-walking: Walk alongside our incredible riders, offering physical "spotting" and emotional encouragement during therapeutic sessions.
• Grooming & Paddock Care: Help us care for our amazing herd by brushing, tacking up, feeding, and maintaining clean paddocks and arenas.
• ETC: Based on experience level, we can suggest ideas of what would be best suited!

Please Note: We are an equine-assisted therapy program. All volunteer roles are strictly ground-based; we do not offer horse riding or horse training volunteer positions.
