Descriptions: Horseplay is a year-round riding program, affiliated with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, that provides structured riding sessions for disabled children and adults. The program offers three 45-minute Saturday morning sessions, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., two sessions on Tuesday evenings, 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and one Wednesday evening session, 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Through riding, our participants relax, develop self-esteem and physical strength and coordination. We need volunteers to lead the horses and walk alongside the horse to encourage and stabilize the rider as needed. You do not need experience with special needs students or horses, just enthusiasm and the ability to follow instructions. You aren't required to commit to volunteering every Saturday, but it's helpful if you are available at least one Saturday a month. More information is available on-line at http://www.horseplayriding.org. Riding is the highlight of the week for many of our riders; join us and experience the joy of creating a positive experience for our riders while hanging out with horses and great people!
