Horse Handlers & Other Assistance | Riding Unlimited

Horse Handlers, Side Walkers, Arena Assistants, Facility Maintenance, Administrative Assistance

Riding Unlimited’s mission for over 30 years has been to Turn Disabilities Into Possibilities. We help individuals with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities through the power of the horse. Therapeutic horsemanship improves strength, balance, coordination, memory utilization, muscle tone, motor skills, social interaction and self-esteem.

Horse handling is for more experienced volunteers to handle the horse during lessons. Side walkers are responsible for the rider during lessons by helping keep them stay on task and repeat instructions. Arena assistants are volunteers who float during lessons to assist the instructor. Facility maintenance includes but is not limited to feeding, cleaning stalls, fixing fences, and painting. Administrative duties include marketing, organization, photography, social media and website maintenance.

We currently hold lessons on Tuesday mornings, Wednesday nights, and Saturday mornings. We always need help other times of the day and can work with your schedule.
