Volunteering at TROT

Volunteer, Horse Leader, and Assistant to the Head Instructor Training Days.
At TROT, we offer structured training for those looking to get involved in meaningful and rewarding ways.

 

All new volunteers begin with our Volunteer Training, where they learn the basics of working safely around horses and supporting our riders.

 

For those with more experience, our Horse Leader Training prepares individuals to lead horses during lessons, emphasizing safety, communication, and teamwork.

 

Additionally, dedicated volunteers may be invited to become an Assistant to the Head Riding Instructor, a role that involves supporting lesson planning, assisting with rider development, and helping ensure smooth, effective sessions. Each training path is designed to empower individuals, build confidence, and strengthen our supportive community.
