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.
