Learning With Horses is looking for volunteers to assist with special needs children during therapeutic riding and hippotherapy sessions during the weekdays. The volunteer does not need previous horse expereince. We are in need of sidewalkers and horse leaders that can walk at a horses pace for 45 minutes at a time. We have a covered arena and nice arena footing so our volunteers and horses are comfortable. We are located in Fair Oaks Ranch, seven miles off I-10. Our volunteers are the lifeline of our program. If you are interested in being around horses and helping children with special needs, please call or text us @ (210)863-8362.
