Volunteering

Sessions are run in an indoor arena with access to outdoor trails. We operate four 30 minute sessions during school terms and have 4 qualified coaches. Our coaches work to develop sessions to provide enjoyment and pleasure, within the capabilities of the riders. Each term the sessions are based on different themes eg AFL football. We have visiting specialists for dressage and jumping, spread throughout the year. A hoist is available for those who need it and trained volunteers support riders at all times. Helmets are provided for each rider. Riders of all ages are welcome to apply.
