How Do I Join The Volunteer Horse Patrol (VHP)?

In order to Join the VHP, you must meet the following General Requirements:

1. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and own or lease a horse. We do not provide horses.

2. Your horse should be experienced on trails, sound and in good condition, and calm enough to work safely with other horses and people.

3. Prospective volunteers attend two evening training sessions (not on horseback) with park staff in March.

4. Trainee and horse do a ride-along with any current VHP member in April.

5. Trainee and horse successfully complete a qualification ride in May (checking for the traits in item #2 above).

6. Finally, a graduation ceremony and BBQ is held in June, where trainees are formally admitted to our unit.
