Equine Adaptive Riding Class

Save to Favorites

Vinceremos is an equine therapeutic riding center offering therapeutic riding lessons to children and adults with cognitive, physical, psychological and developmental disabilities.

This Equine Adaptive Riding Class offers volunteer opportunities for every Thursday evening from 4:30 - 8:00 pm for 12 weeks from June 8-August 24th (July 6th is an off week).

This opportunity requires assisting in riding lessons as a leader or sidewalker, grooming, and tacking. Requirements for leading and sidewalking are the ability to lead a horse or provide support to a rider on a horse which includes the ability to walk alongside or in front of the animal. Tacking requires the ability to lift up to 25 lbs for western saddles onto and off of a horse's back.

Vinceremos’ volunteer program properly trains their volunteers and provides a safe environment to learn skills such as stable management, barn maintenance, and equine care (including grooming, bathing, tacking, and handling) while also providing experience working with those with physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities.

Volunteers can earn community service hours. The minimum age to volunteer is 12.
