Here at Sundance Circle Hippotherapy, we strive to improve the quality of life for our patients through the power and presence of the equine. Sundance Circle Hippotherapy is a team of volunteers, staff, therapists, and horses based in Sumner. We offer hippotherapy, which takes place in our covered arena on specially trained horses, as well as outdoor therapy. Horses provide a unique input to assist physical, occupational and speech therapists in providing top quality care in their specialty.
Volunteers play a key role in assisting the therapist and ensuring they’re able to meet patient goals. Many patients greatly benefit from the physical and emotional support of the volunteers that they get to know. It's a fun and rewarding experience where you can have a remarkable impact in someone's life.
Volunteer Roles Volunteers in all roles must be able to walk two miles without rest and safely lift at least 20 pounds. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Each role comes with specific training and support so that we can help you to help us! Shifts typically last 1-3 hours and are available Monday through Saturday from 8am-5pm. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.We're always looking for volunteers who are passionate about helping kids, love horses, and are ready to make a difference!
