Horse and stable care volunteers support the daily well-being of our horses. Tasks may include grooming, cleaning stalls, feeding hay and water, and maintaining the stable area.

Horse Handlers and Side Walkers play an essential role in supporting our students and horses. Consistency is key, as our participants benefit from familiar, dependable volunteers. Responsibilities include grooming, tacking/untacking, leading horses during sessions, and providing support by walking alongside students when needed.

All volunteers in these roles must complete an orientation and ongoing training is provided. Shifts are typically three hours, but you're welcome to stay longer if you're available!

Orientation is a chance to learn all the ins and outs of how Volunteers can make a huge impact on our community!  Volunteers will learn how to horse handle, groom, tack up the horse and side walk during orientation.  We value developing our volunteers skills and confidence just as much as our students.  We are all always growing and learning and whether you have years of horse knowledge or not, we are happy to have you and grateful for your willingness to help others!
