We’re glad you’re here!
Riding Unlimited runs on volunteers and we couldn’t do it without you!
Our Volunteer Opportunities!
Working with Riders
Our riders rely on the safety and training of our volunteers so they can focus on their personal growth.
Sidewalker
Working directly with a rider is extremely rewarding and the primary responsibility of a sidewalker is to maintain constant safety awareness, while providing physical and motivational support to the rider.
Qualifications
Minimum age is 14. Be able to walk and jog for short periods of time while the horse is trotting. Attend Volunteer Training and be committed to your weekly class assignment throughout the session.
Horse Handler
The horse handler is directly responsible for the horse before, during and after each lesson. It is the leader who must help in guiding, stopping and starting without making the rider feel that he or she is simply a passenger.
Qualifications
Minimum age is 14. Must have experience with horses and complete Handler Certification. Must attend hands-on training and be responsible for continued training as needed. Should be able to walk at a fast pace and jog intermittently during the lesson.
Working with Horses
We pride ourselves in keeping our herd happy and healthy. It’s a lot of work! We’re always looking for individuals who want to care for these large, nice animals and join the RU team! Activities include:
Grooming Horses
Schooling Horses
Feeding and Tending to Horses
Working with a Non-Profit
Non-profits rely on their community to keep the program running and often operate like a small business. If community engagement or business interest you, we have a variety of volunteer opportunities:
Fundraising and Community Engagement
Branding and Advertising
Website and Digital Presence
Group Opportunities
Does your business, church, club or school have a yearly Community Volunteer day? We have a unique Group Volunteer Experience to offer at Riding Unlimited in Ponder, Texas, just North of DFW. Riding Unlimited can facilitate groups up to 150 volunteers with projects from renovation, painting, landscaping, fundraising and events. We would like to host your Volunteer Group!
