Horse Birthday Parties, Horse Camp, Special Needs Lessons, Riding Lessons. Rides & Reins TEC provides healing alternatives through horseback riding for riders with special needs.The children we work with need help working on their balance and strengthening their core muscles. Volunteers are needed for a few hours during riding lessons on Wednesday and Thursday between 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 1:00 pm.

Volunteers assist children with their therapy sessions by side walking next to the horse & rider in the arena, leading the horse or brushing & grooming the horses before saddling & tacking the horse before each ride. An adult instructor is always present. Volunteers must be 13 years old or older. Knowledge of horses or riding experience is not required, but a love of children and animals is! Potential volunteers are welcome to visit beforehand to see what we do.
