Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers are the heart and soul of the "Acceptional" Riders program.Without their help, our riders would not be able to ride safely. Each rider may require up to 3 volunteers, one to lead the horse and two to side walk beside the rider to assist them to safely ride.


Volunteer orientation will be held Monday September 10, 2018 at 6pm.
If you or anyone you know is interested in volunteering
Please call TJ Stables.  (519) 354-7517.

Great way to earn high school volunteer hours
Adult volunteers who like to work with people with special needs and horses are welcome.
1, 2 or 3 hrs per night


When is "Acceptional" Riders?
This is a group activity, as each class can have up to 10 riders per class. Private classes are available upon request.

What to expect:
Volunteer Leaders are responsible for directing the horse and following direction from the lesson instructor.
Side walkers provide physical support and encouragement to the rider.
You will be given a training session before starting.
You will generally be assigned to the same rider each week in order to build confidence and trust with the rider.
Group classes run in the spring and fall. Private sessions run year round.

Although preferred, no experience with horses or special needs is required to volunteer. We will train you, before your first day volunteering.

Call 519-354-7517 or email tjstables@ciaccess.com to register to volunteer.

"This program is for riders with special needs.  If you know of someone who might like to ride a horse but thinks that they can't because they're "disabled" , let them know that there's no such word as "can't" at TJ Stables.  We have special techniques to enable almost anyone to ride.  The therapeutic horse "Accepts" the rider, irregardless of the "special" need."
