CKRH asks for medical information to ensure the safety of all of our volunteers. It is in your best interest to complete this section. However, if you do not fill out this section, CKRH will use their standard safety measures in the case of an emergency.

Volunteering

There's no doubt that volunteers are the backbone of CKRH. More than 125 volunteers each week are needed to provide safe, quality services to our clients. There are many volunteer options that do not require horse experience, just the desire to help other humans. Whatever your talent, we appreciate your support!
