The Pony Ride Assistant Training is open to those current Carriage Hill Riding Center volunteers who will have completed 20 hours of service as a Barn Aide by the time the first Pony Ride shift is offered. For more information on how to get started as a Barn Aide, please visit our Carriage Hill Riding Center Volunteer Training page.
Pony Ride volunteers assist staff in conducting Pony Rides for children ages 2 - 8. Volunteers hand-lead the ponies or act as a spotter while the children ride. Volunteers are the extra set of eyes, ears, and hands that ensure each participant has a safe and engaging experience.
Annual Pony Ride Training is required. Volunteers are asked to complete a virtual training, and then attend an onsite training at the Carriage Hill Riding Center.
