Volunteering with us

We are always looking for people who are willing to help out our riding sessions. Typically you maybe required to assist riders mount/dismount, help adjust stirrups, lead a horse or pony or side walk with a rider.

If you're interested in finding out more about volunteering at one of our rides, please do check out the information below, and then contact us.

A short presentation can be found here to give you an idea of what might happen at a session. You don't need to have any previous experience of horses but you will be required to have quite a lot of contact them so should be confident to become involved and learn any skills required.

Below you can find more about where and when our rides take place.
