Ride On Therapeutic Horsemanship LOVES their Volunteers! Volunteers are vital to theit program and without them they don’t ride! No previous experience with horses or disabilities is necessary – you will be taught everything you need to know.Volunteer Responsibilities: They need volunteers to walk beside riders with disabilities, groom, tack, or lead horses. They also need volunteers to help keep their barn clean, feed the horses, and help at their annual events such as the CALNET Horse Show and fundraisers.

Each week Ride On spends just under $2,000 to care for our 34 horses – feed, shoes, shots, cleaning and vet care.

Ride On is committed to providing their therapeutic programs to all who can benefit from them regardless of their ability to pay the full fee. Demand for scholarships continues to increase as the full effects of the recession settles through the community. They Wouldn't Be Here Without You! More and more, services are curtailed or eliminated and parents continue to seek treatment opportunities they find invaluable to their children. Please consider a $5,000 donation to create a scholarship fund in your name.

They Wouldn't Be Here Without You! Without their very special equine therapists, the remarkable accomplishments of their riders would not be possible.

In return, sponsors receive the following: A personalized Certificate of Sponsorship including a picture of their sponsored horse, A tax deductible donation receipt, The sponsors name placed on their horse’s stall in the barn.
