The Arena Assistant Shadow Experience is only open to those current Carriage Hill Riding Center volunteers who have completed 20 hours of service as a Barn Aide. For more information on how to get started as a Barn Aide, please visit our Carriage Hill Riding Center Volunteer Training page.
Equestrian Arena Assistant volunteers assist staff in conducting Riding Center lessons and camps. Volunteers are the extra set of eyes, ears, and hands that ensure each participant has a safe and engaging experience.
For training, volunteers are asked to complete a virtual training, and then attend an onsite Shadow Experience at the Carriage Hill Riding Center. Returning Carriage Hill Riding Center Programming volunteers are strongly encouraged, but not required to attend the Shadow Experience on an annual basis.
