Horses for Handicapped (06/17/2006-07/15/2023) [HIL]
Bakas Equestrian Center offers horseback riding to children and adults and specialize in those with disabilities. Riding provides them with increased self esteem, balance, coordination and improved attention span. Volunteers help with a wide range of duties at Bakas – so you should be prepared for anything.
When classes are in session, volunteers assist staff with:
- grooming and tacking horses
- setting up and breaking down the arena
- assisting staff with activities and games during classes
- sidewalking with riders for support or assistance
- untacking and cooling horses for turn-out.
In between classes, volunteers assist staff with barn chores such as cleaning:
- water troughs
- stalls and paddocks
- tack
- barn offices and more.
First time volunteers are asked to spend the first 30 minutes on-site watching a short video orientation about our program.
Volunteers are asked to follow CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing.
Thank you for volunteering!
Age Minimum (with Adult): 13+, Minimum Age:13+
