Volunteer YouTube Channel

SMILES staff continues to create training videos for our volunteers. These videos cover skills such as horse handling and saddling, but also will demonstrate how to approach class props, how volunteers can help with mounting, etc. SMILES saves all of these videos on a YouTube channel specifically for our volunteers!
