The Trail Guide Shadow Experience is only open to those current Carriage Hill Riding Center volunteers who have completed 20 hours of service as a Barn Aide. Must be age 16 or older. For more information on how to get started as a Barn Aide, please visit our Carriage Hill Riding Center Volunteer Training page.
Trail Guide volunteers assist staff by grooming and saddling the horses, and helping customers get on and off their horses. Volunteers also ride along the trail giving instructions, keeping a watch on spacing and behavior, and answering questions to 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.
