Volunteers Make It Happen

Volunteers are the heart of our programs and their dedication to our mission is the reason we thrive.

How You Can Help

Lesson Programs

Lesson volunteers play a vital role in supporting our riders. You may assist by leading a horse or walking alongside a student during sessions. Horse Leaders should have prior equine experience, but no experience is needed to become a side-walker—just a willingness to help and engage.

Barn Helpers

Barn Helpers help ensure our horses are well cared for and ready to serve their riders. It’s a great way to spend time with the horses while enjoying some peaceful barn time. Responsibilities include feeding, grooming, mucking, and general horse care.

Corporate and School Groups

Farm and facility projects are a great way to lend a hand outdoors while making a real impact. Gather a group and spend the day tackling current needs around the property. Past projects have included painting, fence repair, trail clearing, gardening, and seasonal cleanup. There’s always something to do—and we’re always grateful!

Office/Website/Fundraising

There are many ways to support our work beyond the barn! Volunteers help with office work, website updates, events, and fundraising efforts—bringing essential skills that keep our organization running smoothly. Whether you’re behind a desk or behind the scenes, your time and talents make a big difference.
