My instructor is doing the interactive with a world level dressage rider who had a accident that now leaves her pretty much help less. I was there on her first lessom doing this and from there to now there is a huge difference. You can tell how happy she is just to be able to be around horses once again.
I volunteer at Miracles in Motions (a therapeutic riding center near where I live) and just wanted to say that a lot of these places need more volunteers than just instuctors, you can help out in other ways too!
Would like help placing ad for certified narha instructor for our barn in northern California. Have a retired individual who might be interested in becoming certified; please email me.
My sister in law therapeutic riding teacher!!! i am not interested but it is fun to have a sister in law that does something diferent then just jumping and dressage!!!!
I used to volunteer at a therapudic barn, it was very rewarding. The happiness the kids got out of it, and how they learned to better control themselves, and figure out their issues..and they LOVE THE HORSES. They just see it as a BFF, and they seem more willing to explain things to the horses than to people. I definitly recommend people that love horses and want to help others get involved with this kind of stuff.
I volunteer at Eagle Mount Horse Therapy of GF, Mt. I am not an instructor but help with the duties that surround taking care of 18 horses, 2 donkeys, 1 minni poney and 1 minni donkey. It is definately work but I get so much more out of it than I put in. It is amazing to see how much the children and adults get out of it. I highly recommend volunteering.
