Why not consider volunteering this coming year in our Riding Program or in one of our 4-week Minature Horse Programs "Mini Wheats".
Volunteering provides a great opportunity to learn new skills, help others, spend time with the horses and enjoy the outdoors.
NOTE: Minimum age for volunteers is 16. Please keep in mind that long pants are required for every lesson regardless of weather.
Volunteers are needed at least 30 - 45 minutes before class to help prepare horses for our riding/driving program on Tuesday nights. Please dress for the weather!
Our riding instructor Lydia Dubanow is a Canadian Certified Therapeutic Riding Coach as well as an Equestrian Canada Certified Coach.
Therapeutic riding activities and the close interaction with horses can be used as therapy to assist individuals with diverse challenges in reaching physical and mental health, and cognitive, social, behavioral and communication goals.
