Volunteers are the key to the success of the Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society in Courtenay, B.C., Canada. With up to three volunteers required for every rider and riding sessions held four days a week, some weeks we may need as many as 90 volunteers. Experienced instructors and volunteers are present to offer support and direction until you feel comfortable.
Duties may include grooming the horse, putting on tack (saddle or bridle), leading the horse, or walking beside the horse ("side walking") to provide security for the rider.
Volunteers are also crucial to the success of numerous exciting and original fundraising activities which we schedule throughout the year.
YOU BENEFIT TOO!
