Access to horses is not always easy, and personal development is often left out of traditional riding lessons. At New Options, we believe any kid with an interest in horses should have the chance to see their dream come true, and that caring for horses can also teach us about ourselves. For children and youth with time availability, our Junior Volunteer program provides the opportunity for hands-on horse care in a supportive team environment. Our volunteers spend the morning working in and around the barn. After 20 hours of volunteer work, they are rewarded with a free, half-hour riding lesson.
