Our fees are kept very low because of the generosity of volunteers, cooperating organizations and donors. Scholarships are intended for those who are severely financially challenged.

If your financial situation improves, please notify Eagle Mount that you no longer require scholarship assistance.

Participant Attendance Policy: Call ASAP if you will miss a class!At least 24 hour notice is requested when a participant is unable to make a class. This allows us time to contact the volunteers who are scheduled. Two unexcused absences in the program may result in forfeiture of your place in a class and/or loss of scholarship assistance. Fees will not be waived or refunded for unexcused absences. Call in absences at (406) 586-1781. If a participant is more than 15 minutes late for a class, volunteers may be sent home.

Participant Information Space is limited and classes are filled on a rotating basis to ensure that as many riders can join us as possible. Please refer to website for height, weight and horse requirements. Unmounted lessons will be offered to individuals who exceed the height and weight limits.

We ask that all participants wear long pants and boots or heavy shoes year round.

Volunteer InformationMost volunteers serve as sidewalkers or leaders. No previous experience is needed. Volunteers are also needed for non-class activities such as tack cleaning, barn help, and special events.

The minimum time commitment is 1.25 hours per week for the duration of the session, plus attendance at a 2.5 hour New Volunteer Training and Orientation Session. Training is held the week prior to the beginning of each session, typically in the evening. Closed toe shoes must be worn for training and volunteer time. Interested volunteers should contact Katie Jacobson at [email protected]

RECREATIONAL AND SPORTS RIDINGRecreational Riding (Mounted)• One hour lesson with one to four other riders similar in age

or ability. • Variety of games and exercises designed to promote social

and therapeutic benefits.

Sports Riding (Mounted)Designed to improve horsemanship skills, participants will also be taught how to help groom and saddle their horses.

Developmental Riding (Mounted)For individuals who may not be ready for recreational and sports riding. Therapeutic Riding Instructor works one on one with the rider to maintain or improve the rider’s muscle tone, balance, and hand-eye coordination.

Individuals with disabilities can benefit from our purposeful, supervised interaction with horses. We offer both mounted and unmounted lessons throughout the year. All of our participants are encouraged to enroll in all of our class offerings so that they can become well rounded horsemen. Horseback riding (mounted lessons) help improve flexibility, balance, and muscle tone. Unmounted lessons focus on establish-ing a working relationship with their therapy horse and to learn “life skills” that often result in employment opportunities in veterinary clinics or stables. Learning how to handle and care for the horses promotes confidence, patience, self-esteem, and improved social skills.

Eagle Mount Therapeutic Riding Center is a Premier Accredited Center and our instructors are registered and certified through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH).

Program InformationThe Cycling Program is for individuals with lower body impairments as well as avid cyclists with dementia. The program offers two evening rides per week and one long ride on a Saturday each month. This summer, cyclists will be able to road bike and/or mountain bike with our program. Each week, we’ll ride from different locations, with varying difficulty levels. Please contact cycling coordinator Jenny Woodham at [email protected] for more information.

Volunteer InformationIf you are an avid cyclist or just enjoy a summer evening on a bike, we would love to have your company. The needs of the hand-cyclists are simple. Some need assistance getting bikes out of cars and others will need help getting set up on a bike. We provide a volunteer for each cyclist. If you like tinkering or working on bikes, we could definitely use you! Volunteer applications and background check information can be found on our website at www.eaglemount.org and training will be held the week of May 11th.

BOZEMAN, MT 59715

November 9th, 2019 - Crystal BallEach Fall, Eagle Mount’s Crystal Ball Committee creates a sparkling setting for Bozeman’s most elegant black tie dinner auction. Montana Ale Works will once again be closing their restaurant and opening their doors to host this year’s Crystal Ball. Seating is limited, and this event attracts the Gallatin Valley’s leaders in business, community, and philanthropy. Most importantly, the Crystal Ball raises critical core support for Eagle Mount and its programs. All funds raised go directly to helping Eagle Mount fulfill its mission. For tickets, contact the Eagle Mount office. This event sells out!

June 13th, 2020 - Western RendezvousCome June, the cowpokes in and around Bozeman will be saddling up to attend Eagle Mount’s 2019 Western Rendezvous! Over the years, this annual event has become a true Western tradition. Hoedown activities will start on Saturday with kids’ activities, followed by dinner at 6:00 pm. The evening will include a silent and live auction and dancing. Help us make this the most successful Rendezvous ever! Please consider volunteering, donating an auction item, and attending. Sponsorships are also available. Tickets can be reserved starting in May 2019.
