SIDEWALKER: In each rider's lesson, we require at least one parent to be a safety sidewalker. Some instances require an additional sidewalker. First and foremost, a sidewalker's responsibility is for the rider's safety. They walk right beside the rider's ankle using the holds that the instructor has prescribed. They become an advisor to the instructor when it comes to communication with and understanding the rider. They also assist in mounting/dismounting. Please remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water to stay hydrated.
ADMINISTRATIVE: This position helps with the day-to-day adminstrative duties.Mailings, copies, and filing are just a few of the items we need help with.
BARN HELP: Not quite ready to be a sidewalker but enjoy the interaction with horses? Cleaning the barn and paddocks is ongoing, daily.
