            Reinbow Riding Center is a non-profit therapeutic horsemanship center in Belmont, Vermont.  Our program is designed to improve the wellbeing of individuals with unique physical, emotional and cognitive challenges through a therapeutic equine experience. In order to do this we need volunteers to help us in many different capacities.
            We begin our program each spring as soon as the weather and ground conditions allow. To do this we need your help! Volunteers are a big part of our program allowing us to give more individuals an opportunity to participate in this beneficial program. We kick the season off providing our services to area school children and continue throughout the summer and fall.
            Some of the fun includes grooming, tacking up, leading the horses or being a side walker lending a little support to a rider. Non-equine activities might include trail clearing, putting up or fixing fences, office work, photography/video taping, helping with social media or brainstorming to develop new games and challenges. Whatever your expertise or inclination if you think you might like to join us to help these riders accomplish their goals we'd be glad to have you.
            If you are looking for a new experience why not give us a try. Everyone is welcome to attend the Volunteer Clinic we will be holding on Saturday, May 14 from 10-12 noon at Stone Wall Farm, 892 Tarbellville Road in Belmont. You don't need to know anything about horses. We'll introduce you. As long as you can walk alongside a rider in case they need a steadying hand and are willing to learn, you'll fit right in. You must be 14 years of age to work with the horses. Students and others can participate and get credit for community service requirements.
            For questions or directions to the Center check out on the web at reinbowridingcenter.org or email: janetupton@reinbowridingcenter.org. Volunteer applications and our Volunteer Handbook are available on the website and available by mail if you email us. We'll also have them available at the Clinic. Please check us out on Facebook, Twitter@ReinbowRiding and Instagram@reinbow_riding_center.  If you would like to volunteer but can't attend the Clinic on May 14, please contact us.
