I love it, mainly because the people who volunteer/work there, and the kids we teach are great. The horses are super-sweet as well. I think it's really fun, and rewarding, though it can be slightly difficult at times. All in all, I think you'll enjoy it! chicklover Posted at 5:36 pm on June 24, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 5:35 pm on June 24, 2008 We had a volunteer riding counselor here last week who worked as a therapeutic riding counselor in central Iowa. She said it was awesome. You have to know about horses though and you cannot be afraid of them at all. Especially with those kind of people being on them.   I think it would be a fun job. ya i've been horse back riding for 8 years and always help with the little kids at camp and stuff Chocolate Thunda Posted at 5:35 pm on June 24, 2008 We had a volunteer riding counselor here last week who worked as a therapeutic riding counselor in central Iowa.
