VOLUNTEERS WANTED!!!!
Come and be part of the Talland RDA we are an entirely volunteer-run group based at The Talland School of Equitation.
Talland RDA is one of the longest running groups in the UK, and we are hoping to find some more volunteers to enable us to expand the current provision due to the demand we have.
Our RDA group runs only on a Tuesday afternoon.
You would be with us from 13.00 - 15.30 each week
We are currently at maximum capacity for riders, but have further demand that we cant accommodate without extra help.
Volunteers can be aged 14 and above. This is an excellent opportunity for those already interested in or involved with horses but no is experience as all training is provided, you just need to bring yourself and a smile!
You would be involved with the handling of ponies, leading horses/ ponies and riders, there may be some preparing the horses and ponies for the sessions, again if you aren't sure, all training is given, and you will have the RDA coach there to check everything for you.
Our RDA volunteers are essential to enable us to provide Horse riding as therapy for the adults and children that come to us.
We are looking for new volunteers who are able to commit to volunteering consistently weekly/ fortnightly, and let us know in good time if they become unavailable.
This ensures that you will progress your skills faster and build relationships with our horses and riders. A basic level of fitness is required for this type of volunteering, but as we expand there may be varied roles available.
Volunteers aged 16+ are required to complete a DBS check (there is small fee required for processing).
If you are interested or have any questions please PM us, or drop us an email to [email protected] and one of us will get back to you asap.
