We operate a therapeutic horseback riding program for people with a disability May - August. The month of May we are looking for Helpers to work with and prepare our therapy horses for lessons starting at the end of May. Other jobs included facility maintenance. We run lessons 3 days / week. It's a fun and rewarding environment if you enjoy people and horses! Horse experience and working with people, and interest in cooking are assets. We look for helpers May - mid August mostly but may also accommodate workers in the off season.
