VOLUNTEERS
Quest has a core team of over 20 volunteers, specially trained as either leaders or side walkers. For each child, two volunteers are needed to either lead the horse, or act as a side walker. Volunteers also assist with grooming, therapy, cleaning up and barn chores. We rely on our volunteers and we utilize volunteers for at least 200 hours a week. Volunteers are asked to volunteer a minimum of 2 1/2 hours per day on a set schedule. Volunteers form friendships with the children and their families, which is one of the most rewarding things about volunteering at Quest! If you are interested in volunteering at Quest, please email barn@questtherapeutic.com for more information!
therapy horses
Quest has a core team of wonderful therapy horses, specially trained for movement characteristics and tolerance to any situation. Quest therapy horses are all-around athletes -participating in such activities as horse shows, trail rides, and on-going training. Our horses are an integral part of our program, and are the foundation for many transformations that have taken place in the lives of the children we serve.
We are always on the look out for new horses for our program. We have set criteria that our therapists are looking for, but please call us if you have a horse to donate. They should be sound, quiet, and healthy with good movement and temperament. You can also email us with information info@questtherapeutic.com
