Riding Center Barn Aide Training
Do you love being around horses? Don’t mind getting your hands a bit dirty? All new Carriage Hill Riding Center volunteers begin as a Barn Aide. Barn Aide Volunteers assist with essential daily tasks of our equestrian facility such as cleaning stalls, turning horses out to pasture, and providing them with fresh food and water.
All Riding Center Volunteers begin as a Barn Aide, and then can complete additional training to assist with Lessons, Camps, Pony Rides, and Trail Rides.
For training, volunteers are asked to complete a virtual training at home first, and then attend an in-person Barn Aide Training at the Carriage Hill Riding Center.
