We are looking for people who are comfortable with grooming and tacking a horse, able to be relaxed and aware when leading a horse in class and able to stay calm in emergency situations.

 Each rider often will have two side-walkers. The side-walker’s job is to keep the rider safe and secure while on the horse at a walk and a trot. The demands of this position will vary with each rider and their abilities. Along with the safety of the rider the side-walker may also assist the rider in games or in processing directions from the instructor. You do not need horse experience to be a side-walker but this would be a great way to get more experience with horses while assisting the leader with preparing the horse for class.

 Wranglers are volunteers who help teach and keep our program safe during our activities at YMCA Camp Reed.  Their responsibilities include horse care and preparation, unmounted instruction, and assisting in the arena and on trails.  Luckily there are perks for the long days:  wranglers stay at Camp Reed, are fed and housed,  and get to participate in evening activities.
