Do you enjoy spending time with great people? Do you love horses?
Bridle Paths is looking for volunteers to help before, during, and after adaptive riding lessons to ensure client safety and help keep sessions on time and track.
Experience working with horses is not required. We train each volunteer to work with horses and riders in a therapeutic context. Younger volunteers partner with older, more experienced volunteers to help with horse and barn care and preparing horses for lessons.
Duties include:
- Horse handling and side walking
- Preparing tack and grooming supplies
- Grooming and tacking horses
- Cleaning stalls
- Cleaning equipment
- Cleaning feed and water buckets
- Sweeping
- Other responsibilities are available depending on experience
Volunteers must complete an application and participate in a barn visit before signing up to be added to the schedule. Interested volunteers will learn about the duties involved and determine fit for the tasks we need help with during their barn visit.
The volunteer application can be found on our website at https://bridlepathsva.org/volunteer-application-form/
