Giving back to our sport
Volunteering
The success of all our competitions is dependent upon the generosity of many volunteers who give unselfishly of their time, energies and talents.
The volunteering effort might be directly horse-related, i.e. jump judging cross-country hazards, or the effort might be clerical, or hospitality related.
Some volunteers are young (13-17), some are parenting, some are working part or full-time and some are retired from “real jobs”.
Whatever the volunteer’s profile, VOLUNTEERS MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Come join us!!!
