Side Walker for Horse Riding Programme
Do you have patience for children and enjoy being around horses? We provide horse riding therapy programmes for children with a wide range of disabilities and special needs, and we're looking for regular volunteers to assist with our programme.
A side walker is a person who walks along side riders to keep them safe during the ride. Side walkers also work with the children to help them learn, develop abilities and grow in confidence.
Sidewalkers need to be fit to enable them to walk along side the riders and sometimes keep up with the horse if it is required to trot.
They should be comfortable around horses and enjoy working with children. Training is provided.
One morning a week from 8:45am - 12:45pm, during school term time
on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays, plus occasional training days.
We are looking for an ongoing commitment of 1 year or more.
