Who we are and how you can participate!

Thank you for checking out Okinawa Hippotherapy!

Since 1995, we have specialized in providing therapeutic horseback riding for children with disabilities as an all-volunteer organization. Our program was founded by a loving group of women dedicated to our community and has evolved through out the years to better serve the families we work with.

Who can participate? The whole family is encouraged to take part in learning how to care for horses and the property on which they reside. While there is no age limit to who can help, we ask that all children under 10 years old have a parent with them to supervise as our limited volunteers are not responsible for any accidents that may happen at the barn. Families have an opportunity to engage in a recreational activity involving the whole family! New volunteers are always welcome!

How many horses are there? We have 5 horses; most of them are smaller in size. Over the years, we have worked hard to train them and while they are friendly, each horse (like any animal) has their quirks, likes, and dislikes.

When do you meet? We meet every Monday at 4:00pm until about 5:30-6:00. We are only given permission to work with the horses during the allotted times and no other times will be permitted per the request of the owner of the horses and property.

What will we be doing and what to wear? Helping at the barn means assisting with both care of the facility and the horses. This means barn chores! You will be cleaning stalls (mucking), scrubbing buckets for water and food, feeding and watering, keeping our work area tidy, organizing and maintaining the equipment, brushing horses, and maintaining hoof care. You should always wear close toed shoes, as well as pants as a safety precaution. Please be aware that you will be getting very dirty and may damage clothing due to the nature of the work. Do you offer advancement? Yes! We are always looking for someone to go above and beyond for the barn and this means DEDICATION. To join our core team and become a volunteer lead, you must work with us consistently and show a desire to learn and work hard. Volunteer leads will be asked to be flexible and teach other volunteers on a weekly basis, as well as spending more time with the horses, if necessary. This position is best suited to people who have a more flexible schedule and can dedicate a large amount of time to the barn.

Location: We are located in Yomitan, near Maeda point. This is private property belonging to a local farmer named Toma so we only send out directions via private messages. It is about 30 Mins north of Kadena’s Gate 1.
