Volunteer Training
There will be a training and orientation session for new volunteers on Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 10 AM (call the barn office in case of rain that morning). Anyone interested can come out to the barn at that time – be prepared to work around the horses – wear suitable clothes and sturdy shoes. Minimum age to volunteer in the lesson program is 14. We will review general barn policies and safety procedures. New volunteers will have an opportunity to practice sidewalking (no horse experience is required); also grooming and leading if they have the requisite horse experience. All volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of 1 hour per week for the duration of the lesson session. For more information, please call the barn office at 752-0153.
