Volunteer
Join the OEA to help horse trial organizers deliver safe, sanctioned eventing in Ontario!
Volunteers are at the heart of eventing! Competitions rely on volunteers to keep their shows running.
There are lots of positions to fill at sanctioned horse trials and most require no special skills. If you've never volunteered at a horse trial before don't let that discourage you! You will be trained for your task on-site.
​
Volunteer roles at eventing competitions may include: cross country jump judges, score runners, dressage scribes, parking attendant, warm-up stewards and more!
​
Check out the competition calendar to find dates that work for you and reach out to the event organizers about volunteering!
​
All ages are welcome! High school students (grades 9-12) can count their hours high school community service requirements .
To say "THANK YOU" all volunteers will be entered in a raffle to win an OEA-embossed YETI Rambler mug! One mug is available at each Ontario horse trial in 2024.
