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.
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.
For training, volunteers are asked to complete a virtual training at home and then attend an in-person Barn Aide Training onsite at the Carriage Hill Riding Center.
