Agency: Majestic Hills Ranch for Children

Description: Make a difference in the life of a child with special needs!

Majestic Hills Ranch for Children needs volunteers to assist our children with their therapeutic riding sessions for the 2010 season. Sessions are M-Th and are in 4 hour increments once a week. Volunteers that have experience with horses will be used as horse leads during the sessions, those without horse experience are sidewalkers and work directly with the child. Volunteers should be able to walk next to the horses in the arena for up to an hour at a time and jog for brief periods. An orientation and training session for new volunteers will be held at the ranch on May 22nd. Interested volunteers who cannot make/are too late for this training can contact us at vbenson@majestichillsranch.com and we'll try to set up an individual training. Please feel free to visit our website www.majestichillsranch.org for more information.
