Day to day running of our classes would not occur without the generosity of horse handlers and sidewalkers.  These volunteers sign up for the job of interacting with our horses and clients. They must go through a Volunteer Training, which includes demonstrations with the horses, information on disablities that you may encounter, reading our Volunteer Training Manual, practicing various riders holds, and practicing grooming, saddling, and leading the horses. This is an important step in providing consistency in our program so that our clients and horses may thrive, as well as our volunteers. 

We request that you contact us by phone or email that you are coming to a training so we can know how many people to expect.  Thank you.

Volunteer Training Day

February 25th at 1:00 pm at the Ranch

This training usually lasts about 1.5 to 2 hrs and we learn about side walking and horse handling. We learn about saddling the horses and get a chance to practice leading the therapy horses to get used to the animals.

We require that volunteers are trained yearly so that they are informed of any changes to our program and horses. If you cannot attend this training, please give Janice a call and set up an alternate time throughout the year to train.
