Grow With Royale Equestrian Centre
Volunteers are an important part of the Royale Equestrian Centre family and we wouldn’t be where we are today without all of our hard working volunteers! We are thrilled to accept volunteers and high school co-op students. Many of our co-op students and volunteers have gone on to become very successful within the equine industry.
We welcome volunteers over 12 years of age. Volunteers under the age of 18 must be students of Royale Equestrian Centre Lesson Program. We also accept a number of High School Co-Op Students and Students that required their 40hrs of Community Service. Horse experience is an asset, but not required as we conduct training sessions on an ongoing basis. We encourage volunteers of all abilities to apply and we have something for everyone! *Parents may be required to remain on site for younger volunteers depending on their age and experience with horses*.
Members of the Royale volunteer program have exclusive access to volunteer training sessions that will give them the confidence and skills they need to move up the steps in our volunteer levels. Volunteers will receive an electronic copy of our volunteer handbook, which outlines the skills you will learn at each level of our volunteer program.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator and trainer Karen Christie. She can be reached by email at: recvolunteer@hotmail.com
