Horse Handlers and Barn Volunteers Needed!

Horse Handlers Needed!

 

We are need horse handlers with horse experience to lead horses in our therapeutic riding classes. 

“I would recommend volunteering with Windrush. If you want to volunteer where you can make a difference in people’s lives, learn more about yourself through your interactions with students and horses and be in an
environment that is nurturing while challenging,
Windrush is the place to be.” Robin
