Volunteering
at Hoofbeats
Times that Hoofbeats needs volunteers:
Hoofbeats operates on a schedule of weekday and Saturday sessions
throughout the spring, summer, and fall months, weather permitting.
Special events, such as shows and fundraisers, are scheduled
periodically, usually on weekends. Keep an eye on the “Updates” section
of this website for our riding schedule and calendar of events.
Requirements/Rules:
Volunteers must be at least 14 years old to lead or sidewalk a horse for
a therapeutic riding lesson. Children younger than 14 may volunteer to
perform other tasks at Hoofbeats under supervision. All volunteers (or
their parents/guardians) must complete a Volunteer Registration packet,
provide health information, and agree to sign a confidentiality
statement. All volunteers must also attend an initial training session
and annual refresher courses. All volunteers must conform to the
operating standards and procedures set forth in the Hoofbeats Handbook.
