TREE House of Greater St. Louis (formerly known as Therapeutic Horsemanship) uses equine-assisted therapy to help people with disabilities achieve their potential both mentally and physically. We need volunteers to walk beside the horse and provide physical stability to the rider while functioning as an extension of the therapist. Volunteers can also assist with office work, gardening, maintenance, etc.
