“The motivating belief is that therapy through horseback riding is one of the more progressive forms of therapy, offering empowerment and inspiring self-confidence, a sense of responsibility and teamwork. Most importantly, riding is a FUN way to receive therapy!”
We are very lucky in our small and remote town of Powell River to have access to this type of therapy and we could not do this without our Volunteers.
We fill from 24 to 50 spots A DAY with our volunteers supporting our riders.
We can run up to approximately 6000 volunteer hours a year for our riding program, special events, facility maintenance, special projects, horse care and more.
