Make a Big Difference

At Promise Landing Farm, we rely on our volunteers to ensure that every lesson runs safely and smoothly. We are always in need of side walkers and horse leaders for our lessons. No horse experience is necessary to volunteer with us - we will teach you everything you need to know at our volunteer training sessions.

​

As a side walker you act as a physical support alongside of the rider and provide encouragement and direction. Side walking is an amazing way to create a fulfilling partnership with our riders and experience the incredible progress that they make in their lessons.

Horse leaders are also a crucial part of our team as they lead our horses through the lesson, providing additional guidance and security to our riders and horses. Leaders have a special opportunity to work closely with our horses to really get to know their personalities and create a bond with them.

​

Volunteers may also sign up to assist our riders before and after lessons with grooming, tacking, and cooling down. Volunteers can attend additional training sessions, clinics, and demonstrations so they feel confident and empowered in their roles.

Testimonials

“I love volunteering at Promise Landing. I witness how interacting with horses empowers people, both with and without disabilities, to experience freedom, joy, and confidence in a unique and powerful way. Spending time with the riders, staff, and volunteers is truly inspirational.”

Mary - Promise Landing Farm Volunteer

“The first time I visited Promise Landing Farm, I felt such positive energy from the staff, the horses, and the volunteers. My son, who has autism, loves connecting with and riding the horses. The connection calms his spirit, and riding has helped build his confidence and independence in so many ways. I started volunteering, and it has become my true happy place. There is nothing like watching someone experience that special connection with a horse and seeing the smile and joy on their face.”
