Would you like to become more involved?
Volunteers are the backbone of many of our programs. Volunteers lead and/or side walk along side the student during our Therapeutic Riding Program (TRP) and our beginner lessons. We also need helpers for pony camp to assist the campers in tacking up their ponies and walking down trail. Volunteers are also important in helping with fundraising, benefits, and other events. If you are interested in helping with fund raising, benefits, and other events, please call the Rocky River office at 216- 267-2525.
