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 or boots with a heel. No sneakers, sandals, or open-toed shoes. Clothing: Long pants like jeans or breeches. No shorts or skirts. Tops: Fitted, comfortable shirt. Preferably long-sleeved or t-shirt. No loose or flowing clothing. 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.

Typical sessions run in fall and spring times, check website for further details.

We are blessed with a beautiful indoor riding arena that is protected from the elements. In the event of severe weather, directors will notify riders and volunteers of any cancellations.

Lessons cost riders $360.00 for a total of nine sessions.
