Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced rider, come and help support a group of 10 to 13s on an Equine Taster Day.

We will be going to Penniwells RDA Centre in Borehamwood, who are experienced, knowledgeable and will be able to help us every step of the way. We will have the opportunity to take part in ridden and non-ridden activities, so even if the group don’t want to ride, there will be something for them to do. Please note: unfortunately there won’t be an opportunity for volunteers to ride, however there is a riding simulator that could be available.

VICTA are looking for enthusiastic and proactive individuals to help support on this Equine Taster Day. Please be prepared to be outside during the day as some activities are outdoors. We ask volunteers to support participants with access to the activities, mobility around the site and encourage social facilitation between the group.

Lunch will be included.
