Volunteer Training

At Exceptional Equestrians, we offer a variety of training opportunities to our volunteers.  One-on-one training is available at any time during the year. If you'd like to schedule a new volunteer training, or a leader, horse handler or long-lining training, please contact Andrea@eemv.org or fill out the form below.

We are also offering our new volunteer orientation several times during 2023. Our next training will be on Tuesday, January 24th from 10 am to noon or 5:30-7:30 pm. You can sign up below to attend.
​

​The training will begin with an overall orientation which is geared toward new volunteers but is a helpful refresher for all.  After the orientation, volunteers can choose to attend a number of break-out sessions:

​Sidewalking- This is a mandatory session for ALL new volunteers.  During this training, volunteers with take place in mock therapeutic riding session.  They'll learn how to support the client, and what to expect in a typical session.

​Leading- This session is most appropriate for a volunteer who have been with the program for at least one session, or who have considerable horse experience.  In this session, we'll learn how to lead the horses in sessions, with information geared to each specific horse.
