Reins of Life in Michigan City offers therapeutic horseback riding lessons, therapeutic carriage driving lessons, and interactive vaulting lessons to adults and children in our community who have diagnosable disabilities. In order to provide these life-changing services for everyone who qualifies, Reins keeps its costs down by offering scholarships and financial aid, fundraising, and through the use of volunteers to run every aspect of its programming.

If you’d like to become a volunteer, please attend one of the upcoming training sessions on Monday, July 20 from 2-4:30, or Tuesday, July 21 from 5:30-8:30 CT. After attending, you’ll be qualified to volunteer in therapeutic riding lessons. If you’re interested in volunteering for the interactive vaulting program, there is an additional training on Wednesday, July 22 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. CT. Volunteers must be at least 13 years old and wear closed toe/closed heel shoes.

There are also volunteer positions for horse feeders who sign up for one shift a week at either 7 a.m. or 3:30 p.m. Training for feeders is done one-on-one. Groups are always welcome to sign up for one or more volunteer service projects.
