Volunteer with us
Help a rider have the best part of their week. No horse experience needed. We'll teach you everything.
What volunteers do
- Horse leader: leads the horse and keeps it calm and steady.
- Side-walker: walks beside the rider, offering support and encouragement.
- Yard helper: grooms, tacks up and cares for the horses.
- Events and fundraising: bake sales, open days and more.
