People & Animal Learning Services (PALS) is offering a volunteer training for individuals interested in participating in PALS therapeutic equine programs. Volunteers participate on a weekly basis. Responsibilities include leading horses and/or side-walking for our clients during riding sessions. Volunteers have the opportunity to work closely with PALS clients, learn about therapeutic equine programs, and help groom, saddle, train, care for horses and help with barn chores. No horse experience necessary! The minimum age for volunteers is 16 years old.
