Want to do something that's unique and emotionally rewarding? Have an affinity for folks with special needs and/or horses? Then Free Rein is the place for you!
Our facility offers therapeutic riding lessons for adults and children with disabilities. Lots of volunteers are needed to help these riders stay safe on the horse.
This is a great way to stay involved with a community, work with animals and feel like you're supporting the quality of life for someone whose experience of life might be vastly different than your own. It's a fun and active place to be and is definitely therapeutic for everyone! Not just the riders ;)
Please e-mail volunteer@freereinspokane.org to sign up or for more information!
