Volunteering Opportunities
Give Back with Purpose
Volunteering at Windmill Stables isn't just about helping out, it's about becoming part of something bigger. Our Volunteer Program gives students, equestrian enthusiasts, and community members a chance to learn by doing, connect with horses, and make a real difference in our barn family.
How It Works
Our volunteers are active contributors to barn life, supporting our instructors, caring for horses, and helping maintain the environment that makes Windmill so special. In return, volunteers gain valuable skills, mentorship, and a sense of belonging.
Volunteers must be enrolled in our Windmill Family Membership to participate. This ensures access to ongoing training, recognition events, and exclusive barn happenings.
