                              Exceptional Equestrians would not be able to operate without the help of MANY volunteers.  One group lesson can require as many as 12 volunteers.  Our volunteers lead our horses and walk beside our riders, in addition to performing countless other tasks. 

                              No experience with horses or disabilities is necessary to volunteers.  We provide volunteer trainings prior to each session and can also offer on the job training during sessions.

                              Not only do our volunteers help us perform much needed tasks, but they also get the reward of helping our very special clients.  One volunteer said, "I almost feel guilty after being out at the barn, because it makes me feel as good as it does the riders!".  Volunteer is also a great way to get community service hours for work or school.

                              Tasks that volunteers assist with:

                              • Sidewalking (walking alongside our clients)
                              • Leading horses in lessons
                              • Assisting in grooming and tacking horses for lessons
                              • Cleaning stalls and barn
                              • Cleaning tack
                              • Filing
                              • Photography

                              • Any other skills you may have!

                              When can I volunteer?

                              We need volunteers for most of our lessons, which occur on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from the early morning until the evening and on Saturday morning.  We ask the our volunteers work with our volunteer coordinator to select a specific class, and commit to coming at that same time throughout the session.

                              How do I volunteer?
