Our
volunteers are an indispensable part of HorseAbility. Volunteers
of all ages are the cornerstone of our programs. Horse knowledge
is not a necessity. Volunteers are needed to assist with outreach,
fundraising, office work, facility maintenance, horse care,
barn chores, therapeutic riding lessons, hippotherapy sessions,
and camp.

VOLUNTEERS
People
of all ages are invited to volunteer at HorseAbility. Volunteers
serve a wide range of functions for the organization, such
as fundraising, horse and stable care, and assisting with
therapeutic riding and hippotherapy sessions.
The
bond that forms between our riders and volunteers who lead
the horse and walk beside the rider is something you can experience
even if you have never worked with horses before. Whether
it is working with our students and horses, working around
the barn or helping in the office, there is something here
for everyone! Come join our team!
We
offer a training program that is both educational and challenging.
Proper horse-handling techniques and safety precautions are
emphasized. When you begin at HorseAbility you may be paired
with a senior volunteer whom you can learn from.
