Volunteer Inquiry Form

Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at Bridlepath Equine Center!

There are several volunteer opportunities available, including lesson help (leading, sidewalking, horse & tack help), barn work, and administrative help.

Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older and pass all background checks. Horse experience is not required - all volunteers must complete a volunteer orientation and training. Trainings are held in 2 parts - Part 1 includes a tour of our facility, a meet and greet with the horses, and discussion of volunteer roles and expectations. Part 2 is a more hands on training that dives in adaptive mounts and dismounts, basic handling and leading skills, and sidewalking holds.

Please fill out the form below to learn more about our volunteer application process - we look forward to hearing from you soon!

  • Any and all help is appreciated! We have some volunteers who prefer to volunteer at the same day and time each week, while others prefer to sign up at random and as their schedule allows. Volunteers will remain listed as "active" in our system until a year of inactivity. Whether you volunteer a couple of hours a month or several hours a week, we appreciate our volunteer team immensely - we truly couldn't do what we do without you!

Your reward is seeing that smile you never thought possible, those tears of joy as the horse rhythmically moves forward and softly nickers, when you hear your name spoken for the first time, when you see your rider sit in the saddle independently without support, and when you feel the team strength of a volunteer, horse, rider, and instructor creating a special environment of warmth
and contentment that ONLY comes through volunteering in equine assisted therapy activities.
