Save a few schooling events that will need volunteers in the coming weeks, we’re heading into the final weekend of USEA recognized eventing for the 2019 season. Sporting Days Farm in Aiken, South Carolina will host its final horse trials of the season this weekend, and two schooling events are also in need of volunteer help.
As we head into the official off-season, we’ll be bringing you advice on volunteering in this post each week. Thanks to opportunities such as the Volunteer Incentive Program, volunteering comes with several perks on top of the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve played a role in running a successful event. For anyone looking to get some more volunteering hours under their belt next season, stay tuned for advice from volunteer coordinators on how you can best support your local events.
Go volunteering, and go eventing!
