Love Horses? Enjoy working with kids? Then you could be the volunteer for us!
**Front Range Hippotherapy is currently recruiting volunteers to help us with horse handling, sidewalking & barn chores (cleaning stalls/pens & feeding).**
Who Are We and What Do We Do?
FRH is a non-profit facility that specializes in providing “hippotherapy” to individuals with special needs. Hippotherapy is physical therapy treatment that utilizes equine movement.
A typical 30-45 minute session with a client starts with tacking up the horse, then either handling (leading and giving commands) or sidewalking next to the client to ensure their safety. All 3 skills can easily be taught so that you will be an integral part of the session!
What Type of Volunteer Are We Looking For?
• Someone with a positive attitude and outgoing personality is a must! Because we work with horses and mostly children with special needs, positive energy is important! We are here to motivate & inspire!
• Preferably someone with horse experience, but if not, someone who is willing to learn!
• Someone who isn’t afraid of gettin’ a little dirty! Maintaining a barn is hard work and requires us to be outside in all sorts of weather conditions…
What Sort of Time Commitment Are We Looking For?
Anything you can give! We feed the horses in the mornings and evenings, and barn chores can be done at any time/any day. We schedule classes with clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays (hours vary) for anyone interested in horse handling/ sidewalking. ** We are always in need of Saturday volunteers between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Full shifts, half shifts, one hour, two hours- anything helps!**
Where Are We Located?
From Boulder- Take Highway 36 West (towards Lyons) approximately 10 miles. We are located 1.7 miles north of Nelson Road on the east side. 10456 Foothills Hwy., Longmont, CO 80503
