Volunteer Study Guides

The following is a collection of outlines put together by the Danada Equestrian Center volunteers for their continuing education, and the education of new volunteers. Volunteers are not required to study or put in time outside their volunteer time to prepare the study guides. If a volunteer chooses to put in outside time for their study guide, they will get volunteer hours for that extra effort.
