Horseback riding develops self-confidence and coordination and strengthens muscles. Attention span increases and self-esteem is elevated. And besides, it's fun.

I absolutely loved volunteering here for a summer. The staff here were very nice and since I love animals it was a good experience for me to be around horses as well. Supporting individuals while they rode horses was really rewarding and if I ever move back to the area I will 10/10 consider volunteering here again.

I have been volunteering with this group for almost 4 yrs. It is a lot of fun getting to work with both horses and riders. I really enjoy getting to watch the riders overcome different obstacles and struggles from simple things as fear of horses to being able to correctly steer and move a horse out. Their happy faces in general lets you know that you're making a difference in their lives. Won't you come be a part of this great team?
