VOLUNTEER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Triple H Equitherapy is volunteer powered--volunteers are essential members of the therapeutic team and make it possible for horse power to heal. Volunteers also participate in many special activities throughout the year, such as marching in the Bandera Labor Day Parade.
Triple H offers many volunteer opportunities for teens and adults. Some volunteer jobs require no horse experience and are ideal for teenagers and adults who love horses and love spending time outdoors. Best of all, volunteers experience the joy of helping children, adults, and Veterans with special needs participate in programs that enrich and often change their lives. Three volunteer jobs truly are the life-blood of our therapeutic riding programs: Horse Handlers, Side Walkers, and Mentors. These volunteers are integral partners of the therapeutic team that includes certified instructors, specially trained therapy horses, volunteers, and for some programs, a licensed mental health therapist.
A Side Walker helps facilitate therapeutic horseback riding by keeping riders with disabilities safe. They must be able to walk for up to an hour and at times to hold arms at shoulder height. No previous horse experience is necessary.
A Horse Handler is responsible for the horse. They need some previous horse experience and the ability to walk for an hour. Horse Handlers are responsible for grooming and tacking horses before and after classes.
A Mentor is a key member of the psychotherapy team. They primarily work with at-risk youth struggling with an array of mental health and emotional issues. Mentors offer guidance and support. They convey unconditional love and acceptance working alongside young people to help them find inner strength, courage, and responsibility.
Triple H offers many more volunteer opportunities for teens and adults which include individual “on-the-job” orientation and training. A few areas where volunteers can really make a difference include the following:
Barn Work
Ranch Maintenance
Horse Care
Fundraising
Clerical
Special Events
Any individual who has a talent they’d like to contribute or just a desire to serve is welcome to find out more. Contact Volunteer Director, Keisha Gonzales at 830-510-9515.
