V.I.P. - Volunteer Instructional Program

After a period of approximately 6 months as a dedicated, committed volunteer, you can be invited to join our VIP group. This group meets on the first or third Saturday each month for additional training and instruction. Sessions may include: 

We want to invest in our volunteers, we want you to love Stockhands as much as we do. So if you give us the commitment, we will commit to helping you learn as much as possible about our horses, our lessons programs and how we can better interact with our students and equine partners.
