WELCOME TO GYMPIE RIDING FOR DISABLED
We always welcome new volunteers.
Our organisation is a not for profit association, run entirely by volunteers. There are many jobs to do, not all of them involving horses. There are the Committee, Canteen and Office to run, the grounds and equipment to maintain, and many fundraising activities throughout the year. For the horse lovers, there is the mustering, preparation and training of the horses, as well as leading and side-walking during the rides. It is a very good opportunity to get fit and lose weight, if that is what you are looking for; in a busy morning you might be able to get up to 14,000 paces on your pedometer.
If you want to make a long term commitment to the organisation, you might like to consider training as a coach, a guide or a whip. This usually takes 1-2 years, minimum, but you are guaranteed to learn much about horses, riding, driving, and the therapy involved for our clients.
We look forward to meeting new volunteers!
