Monee’s energy, heart, and dedication embody everything StirrUp Purpose stands for. She gives her time generously in being an ambassador, feeding horses, filling troughs, schooling, fundraising, improving her horsemanship skills and sharing our mission far and wide. Her passion for the horse-human connection and her natural warmth make everyone feel welcome. Monee is more than a volunteer, she’s a true force of good in our barn.
Sidewalking and Horse Handling in lessons are the two key roles for volunteers at StirrUp Purpose. The Sidewalker works along side the rider and assists them as needed through the lesson. The Horse Handler handles the horse to keep both rider and horse safe and happy.
Is your strength working with horses? Our herd needs both mounted and unmounted schooling to keep them happy and conditioned in order to provide the best services for our participants.
Do you have other talents and skills you'd like to contribute to support StirrUp Purpose? We've got a place for you! There are needs both around the facility and in administrative roles.
