At Purple Pony, we welcome volunteers from all walks of life, provided they meet a few basic criteria.

- Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and possess a genuine interest in our mission to support therapeutic horse riding for individuals with disabilities.

- No previous experience with horses or therapy is required, as we offer comprehensive training.

Whether you're a high school student looking for community service opportunities, a retiree wanting to give back, or anyone in between, if you have a passion for helping others and a commitment to making a positive impact, we invite you to join our team.

For safety and comfort, wear the following: Footwear: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes . No sneakers, sandals, or open-toed shoes.

Clothing: Long pants and/or modest shorts.

Tops: Fitted, comfortable shirt. Preferably long-sleeved or t-shirt. No loose or flowing clothing. Purple Pony t-shirs are available to purchase. Dress for comfort, protection, and practicality to create a safe, enjoyable environment.

- At Purple Pony Therapy, we value flexibility and understand that our volunteers have varying schedules. We ask our volunteers to commit to about 2 hours a week, per each 9 week session to ensure a consistent level of support for our programs.

- Our weekly schedule helps us maintain high-quality services and allows volunteers to integrate this meaningful activity into their regular routines. However, you're more than welcome to contribute more hours if your availability allows. We offer various volunteering opportunities, so you can choose times and roles that fit your personal schedule.
