She is a little young to be with people that you do not know.

Find a riding stable that has lessens and broads. Make sure there is people around when she is there. It would be best if you can stay there with her.

There are alot of good ones around. But till you know be careful.

Some volunteer's get paid.

Your niece is mighty young to be attempting to earn money this way- and most places I know of or have heard of will not allow someone that age to work with or around horses without extremely close supervision. My suggestion to you would be to try to find a place where she can take lessons and get comfortable with a trainer, and then perhaps she can ask if she can do some odd jobs around the place for pocket money or in exchange for her lessons for a few hours a week. Don't expect that she will be allowed to do more than that, though- she's really too young.

As an alternative, have you thought about sending your niece to summer camp for a week or two? There are lots of camps that have riding programs where she can learn to ride and take care of a horse, and also how to do fun things like play mounted games. She would also have good supervision there, and would get a chance to meet and develop friendships with other young girls her own age who ride and love horses as much as she does. You can go online and check out various camps in your area- and you have an added advantage in that you live in Illinois, which is the home of the national office of the YMCA. There are Y camps all over the country which offer riding and lessons- I know this is true, because I was an instructor and manager at one of the largest for several years. If money is an issue, check with the parent YMCA about financial aid or a sponsorship- virtually all of the Y's have sustaining and capital campaigns which fund camperships for families who want to send their child to camp but can't afford the tuition and fees. For more information on this, go to www.ymca of theusa.org, and click on residential camps. You can also check with the American Camping Association for a list of their accreditted camps- their web address is www.aca.com or .org. Good luck, and I hope this helps.
