Are you physically fit but bored or lonely from walking on your own pounding the pavements? Do you need something to fill in the mornings while the kids are at school? Why not become part of our team and walk with us as a horse helper volunteer . Get fit, mix with others, have contact with horses and help to give our riders lifelong skills enabling them to live their best possible life.

Our name of Equipotential refers to a region in space where every point in it is at the same potential and reflects our philosophy that everyone who is involved in our organisation has the same potential and is given the same opportunities.

Your role would involve leading a horse or side walking during our 4 -5 sessions per morning which are each around 45 mins long.
