Volunteers Are the Backbone of Our Program
At Pegasus Special Riders, volunteers do far more than give their time — they change lives. They walk alongside riders who are discovering their strength, cheer on breakthroughs that bring tears to everyone in the arena, and show up week after week with the kind of dedication that makes our program truly special. Through their commitment, special individuals achieve things they never thought possible — finding their voice, building confidence, and experiencing the pure joy that only a horse can bring.
But the gift goes both ways. Our volunteers build lifelong friendships, discover a deeper sense of purpose, and become part of a passionate, fun-loving community united by one common goal: making a real difference in the lives of others. Many of our volunteers will tell you that they came to give, but left with far more than they expected.
The heart of our organization lives in the human spirit — the passion of those who volunteer and the determination of those who ride. Every lesson, every milestone, and every smile shared in our arena is a direct reflection of the incredible people who give their time and energy to this mission. Without our volunteers, none of it would be possible. And with them, there is no limit to what our riders can achieve.
What Volunteers Do
Our volunteers show up in big ways and small ones. From walking alongside riders during weekly lessons to grooming horses, maintaining our facility, and supporting our administrative team — there’s always something meaningful to contribute. No matter your background or skill set, there’s a place for you here.
Volunteer opportunities include side walking with riders, horse leading, horse feeding, grooming and saddling horses, handyman and carpentry work, lawn care and maintenance, and volunteer recruitment. And this list is just the beginning. If you have a talent or skill you’d like to offer, we’ll find the right fit for you.
