APRDA is fortunate to have a community of volunteers who share a passion for the service we provide. It’s a privilege to watch the relationship that is built between horse, leader, rider and side walker creating many lasting memories. Volunteer hours are spent looking after the needs of our riders, horses, grounds and events. Without the assistance of our dedicated volunteers, we would not be able to provide this wonderful service to our clients.
