Waikato Equitherapy Incorporated provides horse riding and horse interaction to children and adults with special needs in Hamilton and the surrounding Waikato area. It has a dedicated volunteer team, committed staff and an excellent team of therapy horses. Our special needs riders benefit physically, emotionally and socially from their time at the Centre. We all enjoy seeing the weekly progress our riders make, and the confidence and pleasure they gain from their time at the Centre.
Waikato Equitherapy also benefits the volunteers, those on work experience and the children who attend the holiday programmes; the Centre is a place where people feel they can belong, get support and experience a sense of community.
We are looking for a 'Glue-tiful Mind' to help out at our school holiday program for both able bodied and special needs children. The school holiday program is an important fund raiser for our special needs program run through the school terms.
We’re looking for a Dustbuster to tackle our admin block and club rooms! The dust and cobwebs are winning, and we need a cleaning champ to set things straight. Ready to make the place shine?
We are on the lookout for a grounds person to help us look after our centre with jobs that vary from weed control to fencing!
If you love being around horses, love the smell of horses, or just love horses in general, then this could be the position for you. We are needing super groomers to get our therapy horses ready for lessons.
Help our riders saddle up for fun and growth through therapy horse riding! Your support will boost their confidence, strength, and self-esteem, all while they have a blast and learn new skills.
