Do you love being around horses? Don’t mind getting your hands a bit dirty? All new Carriage Hill Riding Center volunteers begin as 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.
New Carriage Hill Riding Center volunteers are onboarded twice a year, once during the March/April timeframe, and once during the November/December timeframe. 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. This opportunity is open to volunteers age 14 or older.
For training, volunteers are asked to complete a virtual training, and then attend an onsite Shadow Experience at the Carriage Hill Riding Center.
