The Saddle Light Center invites prospective volunteers to a comprehensive training session designed to prepare them for supporting therapeutic horsemanship programs. Participants will learn how to assist professional therapists and instructors as side-walkers or horse handlers during sessions for children and adults with disabilities. This orientation covers essential safety protocols and the specific techniques required to ensure a positive and secure environment for both the riders and the horses. No prior experience with horses is necessary, as the training provides all the foundational skills needed to contribute to the mission. It is a rewarding opportunity for those looking to make a meaningful impact in the community while working directly with gentle therapy animals.
