Volunteering at Trent Park Equestrian Centre is a great way of making friends, being around like-minded people and will give you the opportunity to spend time with horses and gain valuable knowledge and experience.

Additionally, each time you volunteer for either a full day or two half days you will receive a token for a group riding lesson appropriate to your level.

All volunteers are required to complete induction sessions before they start volunteering. Depending on your level of experience this may take a few sessions to complete. Your instructors will give you feedback when they feel you are ready. Once you are signed off to volunteer you will then be able to book in online to come for volunteer sessions.
