Our group is run entirely by volunteers, this includes our Coaches, Sarah Davies, Carol Scott and Sarah Dix and our wonderful helpers all who turn up each week come rain or shine to ensure the rides go ahead.
Our volunteers help get the horses ready for the rides, help the riders mount and dismount and some lead riders on the horses.
Some of our more heavily disabled riders may rely on 2-3 volunteers each to ensure they are secure and safe whilst on board the horse. This is why keeping our volunteer numbers up within the group is vital to the running of the sessions. At the moment we are desperate for new volunteers to enable the group to keep running its sessions. The sessions are run on a Wednesday and Thursday morning each week. If you are interested in joining our group and can give up just a couple of hours a week it would be a huge help.
Full training will be given so you don't have to be horsey. If you do have experience handling horses even better. If you are interested, why not pop along to watch one of our sessions and have a chat. If you then decide its for you then complete one of our Volunteer Forms and return it to our group secretary Carol Dougall.
