How you can help:
Leaders: The main responsibility of the leader is to control the horse during the lesson. It is the
leader who must help in guiding, stopping and starting without making the rider feel that they are
simply a passenger. The rider must be allowed to do as much as possible with the leader helping
only when necessary. Leaders must be able to walk at a fast pace and jog intermittently during
the lesson.
Side-walkers: The primary responsibility of a side-walker is to ensure the safety of the rider.
This is usually done by walking beside the horse's firth with one arm poised at the rider's thigh or
ankle. The degree of assistance from the side-walker will depend on the balance of the rider.
Side-walkers, who accompany poorly balanced riders, must be a good fit with the height of the
horse and be in good physical condition.
We also need help with fund raising, barn maintenance, activities director, and barn buddies.
Volunteers are not paid - not because they are worthless, but because they are Priceless!
