Join TROT Volunteers
Make an impact supporting riders and programs.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are the heart and soul of TROT at Fence Foothills Equestrian Nature Center. From grooming and saddling horses to serving as leaders and sidewalkers during lessons, our volunteers make every ride possible. They also assist with barn duties, admin support, and behind-the-scenes coordination.
Horse experience is helpful โ but not required.

An introductory class on equine-assisted activities and therapies

At least one hands-on training session with a horse and simulated rider scenarios
