Everyone who volunteers at Equi˜Star is appreciated for their time, dedication,and kindness.  Some individuals volunteer continually throughout the year, while others fill a need in one day.  If you are interested in volunteering, the following are just some of the opportunities available.

Sidewalkers

Sidewalkers walk beside riders, giving physical and moral support.  They act as protectors and cheerleaders, and serve as the rider's escort from the time they arrive until the time they leave.  ( Age 14-adult, must be physically fit to walk and occasionally jog in either arena for up to one hour.)

Maintenance

Handy at swinging a hammer? Brushing on paint? Stacking hay? Being the busy Ranch it is, there is always need for some extra hands. Often this work is done as a one-stop volunteering venture, and is a great way to get some service hours in without an ongoing commitment.

Groups Welcome!

Does your group want or need to do community service? Equi˜Star has joined up with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church Youth Groups, and 4-H clubs from our local area in the past, and it's a great experience for all.  Contact us about getting your group's service requirement fufilled at the Ranch. 


Horse Handlers
Horse handlers have primary control of the horse before, during, and after class.  They make the ride as safe as possible for the rider and as pleasant as possible for the horse.  ( Age 14-adult, must be physically fit to walk and occasionally jog in either arena for up to one hour.)

Much of our growth is possible due to, "funds raised."  Join our fundraising team or share an idea that worked for you or your group. Come to one of our events and support the cause!

Special Events

Especially throughout the busy summer months, Equi˜Star has various activities and events that require coordinated manpower.  We are always in the hunt for volunteers to help plan, setup, and have 
our events run smoothly.  Sometimes an extra set of hands can go a long way. This is another great one-time opportunity to do a good thing.
