A few days ago I sent an e-mail to a therapeutic horseback riding organization for handicapped children I was interested in volunteering at, and they finally answered. I'm allowed to volunteer! They have 12 horses and ponies, and all I have to do now is attend an orientation. I have to call the woman in charge on Tuesday to get everything organized. I'm so excited!

I'm just hoping everything goes well, wish me luck!

Good luck! You will love it!

I volunteered at a horse therapeutic riding center not too long ago. You get to meet some amazing children who benefit greatly from the horses. There is nothing better then working with horses, and working with people.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Thanks everyone! I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for a while now.

Rough_collies- I can't wait to meet the children. It seems like they just have such a connection with the horses, its really amazing.
