The Connecticut Horse Council, Inc. VOLUNTEER HORSE PATROL:

The Connecticut Horse Council (CHC) partnered with Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) in 2003 to create the Volunteer Horse Patrol (VHP) to ride and serve in State Parks & Forests.

VHP Members assist with non-enforcement tasks such as promoting trail etiquette as well as provide hands on services maintaining and repairing trails and other facilities.

All volunteers go through a training program, learning the rules and regulations of the state park or forest, trails that they are assigned to patrol, public relations, trails etiquette, communication skills, First Aid and CPR.

Volunteers maintain patrol logs that include volunteer hours as well as visitor sightings, contacts and assistance.

The Volunteer Horse Patrol Committee is looking for individuals to help out with various functions.
