Boston Mountain Youth Ranch is looking for a volunteer to coordinate the care and training of the horses we use in our mentoring sessions. This includes routine care for the horses as well as tracking training needs and maintaining records of care, training, and sessions the horse participates in.
This role involves:
- Routine care of horses
- Developing and implementing training programs for each horse based on their individual needs
- Assist in planning and implementation of our volunteer training for horsemanship activities
- Help plan and set up facilities for the horses and sessions
- Help maintain riding equipment
This position is perfect for someone with horse experience wanting more hands-on practice. You'll have the chance to learn from our Executive Director, who along with expertise in the Natural Lifemanship program we use in our sessions, has decades of riding, horsekeeping experience, and upper level equine management courses. This includes Equine Nutrition, Behavior and Training, Natural Horsemanship (Parelli, Buck Brannaman, Gary Bailey), Masterson Method, Equine Bodywork and Taping, Hoof Trimming, Equiculture and Paddock Paradise systems, and Dauphin Horsemanship's Bit Course.

Mission Statement
Our purpose is to provide a positive, safe and structured equestrian and farm environment for struggling, at-risk and disadvantaged children so that children and their families can experience the unconditional love of Jesus. We believe in healing hearts and sharing hope to hurting children and their families through mentorship services and activities.
Description
Our volunteer training program covers many aspects of what we do at the ranch and why we do things the way we do. We apply the latest trauma-informed guidance when it comes to interacting with guests, volunteers, staff and our equine partners. All of our volunteers attend a training on the foundational principles and core values at BMYR. Our mentors don't just pour themselves into our kiddos, but we also spend a lot of time investing in our volunteers as well. We want to utilize our program to build them up in ways that will benefit them in their lives outside the ranch.
