LTR volunteers are people who give their time and services to benefit our programming. Some bring skills in horsemanship, while others bring skills in leadership. Our volunteers make a difference in the lives of others. They are the heart of our programs and their dedication to our mission is the reason we thrive.
It’s rewarding for me to see the kids overcome their challenges

Lesson Programs
Lesson volunteers are an essential part of our program! Walk beside our students to give needed support or lead a horse during programs! Horse Leaders must have experience with horses; however, side-walkers do not need prior experience.
Barn Buddies
Barn Buddies ensure that the barn is clean, organized and set up for our horses! This is a great opportunity to have some “barn time”! Mucking stalls, cleaning water buckets, setting hay as well as other barn projects are some of the duties of our Barn Buddy team.
Corporate, Community or School Group Volunteering
Farm and building maintenance is always welcome! Organize a group to spend the day in the fresh air and work on current LTR projects! Past projects have included: painting, fence mending, trail and field clearing, building, gardening and fall and spring cleanup.
Special Events
Volunteer at Special Events, serve on committees, or assist with production at fundraising events!
