People and Animal Learning Services (PALS) is offering a volunteer training from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10 for those interested in participating in PALS therapeutic equine programs.
Volunteers participate weekly, with responsibilities including leading horses or side-walking riders. Volunteers work closely with PALS clients, learn about therapeutic equine programs, help groom, saddle, train and care for horses and help with barn chores.
No horse experience is required, but volunteers must be at least 16 years old, according to a press release. Contact Jennylynn Vidas at 812-336-2798 for more information.
PALS has provided more than 19,250 therapeutic horseback riding lessons, educational programs and camp opportunities since its inception in 2000.
