The Centre is a non-profit, voluntary organization with 30 trained ponies and horses. We rely on the kindness of others, including voluntary help, donations and sponsorships to help those in need.
Volunteering
Volunteering with us is a great way to learn new skills, make new friends, and, most importantly, make a difference. Our therapeutic riding program would not be possible without the volunteers who give freely of their time and their personalities.
We are always looking for more ‘Sidewalkers’. Your job will be to walk beside the horse, guiding and helping the rider achieve the tasks set by the instructor. No prior experience with horses or people with disabilities is required. We will show you what to do once you arrive.
