Stirrup Some Fun Therapeutic Riding Program

Therapeutic riding offers these children a new physical and visual perspective of the world that lets them experience the many benefits of riding. 2008 Sessions Tuesdays Stirrup Some Fun Rider's Enrollment Requirements Rider's Enrollment Requirements: **Returning Riders need to complete these forms at the beginning of each new year**:
Volunteers Volunteering with Stirrup Some Fun is a truly amazing experience. Volunteers have the opportunity to work with the riders, work with the horses, take pictures, help wth fund-raising or with administrative duties. It does not matter whether you're a "horse person" or not, our special riders can use your help! Every volunteer is invaluable to the program. To ensure the safety of every rider and volunteer, any one wishing to help with the riding classes must first complete one of our Volunteer Training Sessions and complete our Volunteer Forms. Doing so qualifies you to volunteer at any of our SSF Therapeutic Riding Classes. Can't make the upcoming Volunteer Training Session? Then please plan to attend one of our future Volunteer Training Sessions, which will be offered at various times throughout the year. To find out more, please see our contact information above.
