Do you love horses? Love children and being active? We are happy to say Pride Stables will be running this spring offering you a unique volunteer opportunity!

Volunteers are needed to lead horses or side-walk for riders with special needs for our fall session of classes which will run for 8 weeks starting late September. As a leader, you will need the ability to understand and carry out direct instructions. As a side-walker, you will need to comprehend instructions and be able to pass them on to the rider and will also need to physically assist/support the rider if needed. Both positions require physical endurance, good verbal skills and excellent comprehension. No horse experience is necessary; Hands-on orientation training is available. COVID screening, cleaning, PPE & equipment disinfection protocols in place. Volunteers must be 15 years of age or older.

We ask our volunteers to commit to at least one class per week.
Classes run during the week in the daytime and evenings, and on Saturdays. They are 60 minutes in length, however, volunteers are required to arrive 30 minutes early to groom and tack-up their horse, as well as to untack after class.

New volunteers are asked to attend one of our orientation training sessions.
*Pre-registration for orientation is required* and space is limited!
Upcoming orientation training sessions:

• Wed. Sept. 7th : 12-2pm OR 6-8pm
• Tues Sept. 13th: 12-2pm OR 6-8pm
• Thurs Sept. 15th: 12-2pm OR 6-8pm
