Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
Volunteers are a very important aspect of the program. While some riders eventually ride independently, often a rider’s needs necessitate the use of a volunteer to lead the horse, and perhaps the use of one or even two side-walkers to help with the rider’s balance or other support. Another volunteer opportunity is feeding and caring for our horses. Volunteers also often assume administrative roles such as coordinating the staffing of volunteers with lessons, assisting with fundraising, issuing a newsletter, working at special events and giving presentations to promote Cloud Dancers.
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
Cloud Dancers provides children & adults with disabilities an opportunity for unique equine assisted experiences. The benefits of therapeutic horsemanship include increased motor skills, increased balance & coordination, increased core strength and increased social skills. Therapeutic Horsemanship changes the lives of everyone involved: riders, families, instructors, volunteers & sponsors.
