VOLUNTEERS

Without the involvement of some 10 volunteers who ensure that Projet équestre Goldie runs smoothly, it would be impossible to fulfill our main mission to offer quality services at the best possible cost for parents.

We would like to especially thank Daniel Hayward and Brigitte Vachon, who have been volunteers for 16 and 12 years respectively, and to Jocelyne Piché and Carole Lamarre who have been active volunteers at the centre for 7 and 6 years respectively.

HORSES

It goes without saying that choosing the right horse is essential, whether for its frame, height, symmetry, stride length or temperament, as the rider must feel at ease with the horse’s movements in the same way the horse should be able to respond to the rider and goals.
