Volunteer Your Time!
There are many opportunities for volunteering at Flint Hills
Therapeutic Riding Center! From horse care to side-walking for a client during a class, we invite all willing individuals
to come out and spend some time helping others one ride at a time!
Read below for
some of our current volunteers' testimonies:
What do you personally take away from volunteering with FHTRC?
· I love working with the kids, volunteers, staff and horses! · It’s wonderful to see the confidence children gain
riding the horses. I love to see them so happy! · I gain a sense of accomplishment and something to do with my Monday afternoons! · ...The joy of helping kids, seeing actual progress and working
with the horse “staff”! · ...The
satisfaction of helping others! · I enjoy
working with all the children & staff, as well as learning how therapy helps patients. · I love
the shear joy on the kids faces when they see their horse come into the arena. Or when we see an improvement in their
walking and talking.

Our equine-assisted

and a better understanding of the special needs that exist in our community.
Our main events are:

Rockin' Roundup in the spring, a new event for clients, families and the community at large; enjoy a carnival atmosphere
