PALS Training Coming Up!

Do you love working with animals? Want to help make a difference? Learn how you can help by attending People and Animal Learning Services (PALS) training on Saturday, April 25th, from 1-4 pm.

PALS volunteers will assist children and adults with disabilities in learning how to ride horses. Horse riding can be therapeutic and have many positive effects. Volunteer responsibilities include leading horses & side-walking riders during lessons. Volunteers also help groom, saddle, train, care for horses and help with barn chores.


Don't be discouraged if you have never worked with horses before... No horse experience necessary!

All volunteers must attend a training session before they can begin volunteering with pals.

For more information, contact:
Fern Bonchek: 812-336-2798, or pals@indiana.edu to RSVP for the training and to request a volunteer packet. View www.palstherapy.org for more information.
