We all lead busy lives, and it can be difficult to set aside time to help others and to have fun doing it. If you would like to make a difference in someone's life, we would like for you to become a volunteer with Special Equestrians of Georgia, Inc.

In addition to the joy and satisfaction of helping others, volunteers find benefits in may other ways as well. They gain a better understanding of individuals with special needs, build self-confidence and make new friends.

What does a volunteer do?
Volunteers assist in a variety of ways:  leading horses, sidewalking, grooming horses, tacking up horses, cooling out horses, cleaning tack, horse care, helping with fundraisers, assisting with administrative duties and planning of special events. Any skill you have we can use. If you don't want to work in the barn with the horses, we can use your talents and time in many other ways.

How can I become a volunteer?
Anyone who has the desire to help is welcome; however, you must be at least 14 years old to work directly with our horses and riders.  No previous experience is necessary.  Our skilled instructors will teach you everything you need to know.  
Please contact us at information@specialequestriansofgeorgia.org for more information.

Do I need horse experience?
Though experience with horses is not necessary, it is important that you not be afraid of horses.  More importantly, it is critical that volunteers are willing to learn about horses and are committed to following the safety guidelines we set forth.

Is there a certain time commitment needed?
We try very hard to create a safe physical and emotional atmosphere at Special Equestrians of Georgia, Inc.  One of the ways we do this is to make a strong effort to assign the same volunteers to work with a rider each week.  For this reason, we would like you to be with us as much and as long as you are able. Volunteers need to be able to commit to one to three hours per week. However, any time you have to help is welcome.  We can always use the extra hands!
