Thank You To All Volunteers
Volunteers
are a vital resource for HORSEPOWER. With a full-time
staff of only 5 people, we completely rely on volunteers. There
is no way that we could serve the number of students that we do
without your support. Did you know that we currently provide therapeutic
riding lessons to more than 100 students? So, if we say "thank
you" a million times we truly mean it. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at HORSEPOWER please contact our office. There are many different volunteer opportunities available. Feel free to call (336) 931-1424 or email volunteer@horsepower.org for more information. |

HORSEPOWER
is a therapeutic equestrian program, that provides both challenges and
rewards to people with physical, mental, emotional and social disabilities.
These disabilities may include multiple sclerosis, autism, cerebral
palsy, spinal cord injuries,
Parkinson's disease, Down's syndrome, stroke and depression,
as well as victims of physical, mental or emotional abuse.
Through interaction with horses and horseback riding, these individuals
derive educational, physical and social benefits that include learning
new skills, building self-confidence, enhanced physical fitness, increased
muscle strength and flexibility, interpersonal skills, concentration skills,
patience and self-discipline.
Through certified instructors, dedicated volunteers, generous donors and trained horses, many people with disabilities are able to participate in this unique and enriching program. In addition, we offer a Youth Program for "at risk", and a HORSEPOWER Club for local high school students.
