he Richmond Therapeutic Equestrian Society relies on the dedicated volunteers who generously give their time to our program.
Our volunteer Board of Directors help to provide a solid foundation for the program. Class Assistants are essential for providing the direct assistance that is required to support the riders and instructors in the classes and it is with the help of a volunteer physiotherapist that we assess children who are waiting to participate in the program. Additionally, families of program participants volunteer a little of their time to assist the Society in our fundraising efforts.
We have a very enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers. Lessons run during the week Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, as well as Monday and Wednesday afternoons. While horse experience is an asset, it is not a requirement. We will provide training. We are very proud to say that our volunteers have just as much fun as our riders in a setting which is both therapeutic and recreational. If ours sounds like a team you would like to join, please contact our volunteer co-ordinator at 604 241-7837 to arrange for an interview.
