Volunteering

Westmorland RDA provides opportunities for people with disabilities to experience and learn how to ride.

Volunteers can learn a new skill or utilise an existing one and become part of an enthusiastic team of people who want to help others and be around horses.

The rewards are huge for rider, driver and volunteer as we share in each others’ achievements.

We need volunteers to help with:

Grooming, tacking up and harnessing the ponies
Setting up equipment
Leading ponies
Side-walking (assisting the rider)
Hat fitting and collecting monies

We meet on Tuesday afternoon during term time for riding sessions in the Kendal area.

Full training is provided.

If you would like to arrange a ‘taster’ visit please contact us via the Contacts page.

Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you.
