Community Groups
Volunteering as a group is a great way for local organizations, student clubs, corporate teams, or church groups to make a difference in their community and practice team-building skills, all while providing a unique volunteering experience. We love to have community work groups join us for a day or even a few hours to help keep our facility looking clean and tidy. Contact our Volunteer Team, volunteer@healingreins.org, to set up a time for your group to come in.

We enthusiastically welcome volunteers 14 years old and up, with adapted volunteering opportunities for youth ages 12-14. Not quite 12 yet? Be patient, you’ll be old enough soon!

Herd of Horses
The equine members of our team are hugely important to us and are chosen very carefully. The ideal therapy horse is sound and unflappable, with a been-there-done-that attitude. Our herd members have had careers in dressage, high school equestrian teams, trail riding, ranch work, and more. Miles and experience add up to the quiet, assured horses our participants need.
