Therapeutic Riding Volunteer
Volunteers are the backbone of our therapeutic riding lessons!  We can not ride our kids without help from you!!!

Each child requires 4 volunteers - one horse leader, 2 side-walkers, and a helper.


What are the different roles of our volunteers?

  • Sidewalkers - walk next to the horse to help support the rider and provide safety
  • Horse Leader - lead the horse during lessons and provide safety
  • Helpers - are with the team and help with props and other needs, interacting with the rider

No horse experience is necessary!  We provide the training so all you need to do sign up!  All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer training course with us prior to interacting with the kids.  If you are looking for a way to make a lasting change in a child's life this is it!

Barn Help and Horse Care
We can always use a hand around the barn!  If you are interested in helping take care of the horses let us know.

Typical help we need:

  • barn chores and cleaning
  • helping groom horses
  • helping work with the horses on ground skills & getting them used to props
  • putting up fencing and maintenance
  • for those that are good working with their hands - we can use volunteers to help construct our indoor arena

If you are interested in volunteering to help around the barn we require volunteers to attend a training session and complete a volunteer application packet.

For those looking to help with the horses we have an additional "Horse" interview we would ask you to complete.  For more information on helping with the horses please
contact us.  We are willing to teach and train horse skills for those dedicated volunteers who are looking to "earn their saddle".

Special Event Help

We have special events at Unbridled Change that require extra hands!  If you would like to help us during special events please let us know. 

If you are interested please contact us at volunteer@UnbridledChange.org or 540-719-2171
