If you’re looking for a truly unique volunteer experience than look no further. Heartland Therapeutic Riding helps children and adults with disabilities through working with horses. The equine-assisted activities provide therapy and improve the lives of those participating.
Their volunteer opportunities are:
Rider Team: Be a part of our rider support team as a sidewalker or horse leader. You’ll work with our riders and horses on a weekly basis. Horse experience is not required to be a sidewalker. We’ll provide the training that you’ll need.
Ranch Hands: If you can swing a hammer and know a Phillips screwdriver from a flathead screwdriver, then we need you.
Individual or Group Service Project: We will work with you to tailor a project to fit your skills, talent and time frame.
Volunteer training is required for volunteer positions working directly with riders and/or horses. Volunteers must be 14 years or older. Their classes run in the evening on the half hour from 4:30 to the last class starting at 7:30.
