Volunteering

  • At Dreamcatcher's I was a side-walker and a horse-leader. As a sidewalker, my focus was helping the participant on the horse complete the instructions given to them by the instructor. As a horse-leader, I would prepare a horse for a lesson and guide the horse around the arena making sure it was doing what the rider was trying to get it to do.
