Students of recreational therapy and the likes! We offer one hour horse back riding classes Monday through Saturday for children and adults with disabilities. We rely almost entirely on volunteers to help our riders during class through physical support and coaching! This is an incredibly fun and easy way to complete hours for school, connect with your community, spend time outdoors, hang with animals and even get some exercise!
Check out our website for more information - www.freereinspokane.com or Facebook page or e-mail Nicole at volunteerfreerein@gmail.com for details and to sign up!
Our need for volunteers is on-going and we are always accepting new people! Fall session begins September 11th and runs until December 8th.
You do not need horse experience to work with our riders!
