Volunteer Your Time
Volunteers are a vital part of Northland Therapeutic Riding Center’s therapeutic riding program, donating more than 2,500 hours each year. They say there is something magical about the barn and the camaraderie of the volunteers, staff, and riders. “It feels special”, volunteers say, “to be part of a program that makes such a difference in so many lives.”
NTRC needs you. Experience with horses is not necessary for all positions since many volunteer positions extend beyond the barn. You just have to want to help. Volunteers can assist as horse leaders or sidewalkers in the therapeutic riding classes, tend to the needs of our special horses, or share their accounting, writing, photography, computer, or organizational skills with our center. Whatever your talent or interest, there is a perfect place for you at NTRC. Volunteer schedules are flexible.
To download the volunteer (enrollement) forms or complete them online, click on all three forms below. Once the completed forms are received, someone from NTRC will contact you.

“Of all the things I’ve ever done,” says Pat McGuire, a volunteer, “I’ve never done anything so rewarding.”
