At Heritage Christian Stables, we believe the special bond between a rider and their horse can help people with disabilities reach beyond their limitations to achieve their dreams. Therapeutic horsemanship allows people to strengthen their bodies and minds, freeing their spirit to do the things they never thought possible. And best of all, it’s fun!
The continued success of the therapeutic horsemanship program relies heavily on volunteers, which help to run lessons year-round. Riders may require as many as three people to assist them - one "side walker" on each side of the horse and one "horse leader" responsible for guiding the equine. Experience is not required. All necessary training is provided.
This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity, weekly attendance is required for an 8 - 12 week period of time. . Volunteers must be at least 14 years old. No experience is necessary, training is provided!
