Here at FHTRC, volunteers truly make the world go round. We serve over 250 clients year round, and each of those clients requires one to three volunteers – so clearly, without the hard work and dedication of our volunteers, the “FHTRC world” would stop spinning!
Volunteering is open to adults and teenagers who are interested in assisting children and adults with disabilities. They provide physical, emotional, and educational support to our clients.
No prior experience is required. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, and able to work independently, without direct supervision from staff.
Are you interested in volunteering? Email our Volunteer Coordinator, Cheyenne, at cheyenne@fhtrc.org to learn more. We will get you set up to attend our New Volunteer Training sessions where you will get hands-on experience to prepare you to assist in classes.

Our Volunteers Love What They Do
We were proud when Sally Bauer won the Pay it Forward Award from Devaughn and James in Wichita, KS!
“I love coming to work and being outside with horses and people. It is so awesome being able to help our riders grow and see them improve! Through Freedom Hooves I have expanded my comfort zone, gotten to know some awesome people, and gained confidence and knowledge about horses and horsemanship.”
“I love having the opportunity to volunteer at FHTRC. The riders and the staff are so great! Seeing the riders’ progress is the coolest thing. It’s fun to see when a concept clicks for them and they are so proud of themselves. And no matter how your day is going, when one of them beams or giggles when they see their horse, yes, they all consider the horse they ride “theirs”, it just makes your heart melt. Horse riding means the world to so many of them. It’s amazing what they can accomplish and the joy they obviously get from it. I feel so blessed to get to be a part of something that makes such a positive difference in so many people’s lives.“
“I have been volunteering at FHTRC for over a year now. It has been and continues to be an important part of my life and soul. There is no better feeling than watching the person your working with do something for the very first time after working so hard to do it. I hear all the time from the riders and family that coming to this place is the highlight of their week. I have become very attached to the staff and riders as well as the horses! I am very lucky and proud to say that I am an FHTRC volunteer!“
