HOPES
Reaching out and changing lives through therapeutic riding
High Hopes Therapeutic Riding, Inc. 36 Town Woods Road P.O. Box 254
Old Lyme,Connecticut06371 (203)434-1974
Annual Report October, 1992
High Hopes has just completed its second year in the Sis Gould Center for Therapeutic Riding! We have continued to grow in outreach to clients and richness of program offerings. l am sincerely grateful to our fine, selfless staff, to our tireless and dedicated volunteers, to our riders and their families and caregivers, and to our energetic, committed Board of Directors for enabling this past year to be so successful. Our accomplishments this year included the following: • A growth in membership from 312 to 475 0 The maintenance of last year's 44% increase to 115 riders in our main programs and the expansion of our special programs which enabled us to reach 35 more riders. • The support of over 300 volunteers throughout the program year, through involvement with the program, assistance to the staff, and the presentation of our fundraising events. • The presentation of a five-week Volunteer Enrichment Program which concluded with a Volunteer Dinner attended by seventy volunteers. • The expansion of our program to include inner city youth from New Haven during a special four-week summer session, • The operation of another early-summer program for wait-listed riders who had not had an opportunity to ride during the spring semester. • The presentation of our Seventh Annual Horse Show featuring 90 High Hopes riders and the participation of seven of our riders in the Connecticut Equestrian Special Olympics. Our riders were high achievers in both of these events. ® The selection of High Hopes as the site of the 1993 Connec~ ticut Equestrian Special Olympics. ® The presentation of a NARHA certification class for instructors and therapists. 0 The receipt of a grant from Ronald McDonald Children's Charities to enable us to pave the barn aisles, install a perma• nent mounting ramp, and purchase an automated mounting lift for our riders. • The first annual presentation of the Old Lyme Antiques Show which brought over 1,200 people to our facility, The fourth Symphony in the Meadows was attended by over 700 people. Both major events augmented our operating income with the proceeds. T award the end of this year, the "High Hopes" which I ex~ pressed in last year's Annual Report for a year of continued support and growth were realized in a particularly significant way. High Hopes was notified of a $100,000 Challenge to assist us in our capital campaign, This challenge, which will be detailed in our Annual Membership mailing, requires that we raise $100,000 in matching funds by December, 1992, I sincerely hope and believe that each of you will help us meet this challenge. I conclude my two-year term as President of High Hopes with heartfelt gratitude for your part in the growth and success of High Hopes to date. I am confident that this growth and success can continue due to your loyalty and your demonstrated ability to reach out and involve increasing numbers of like•minded individuals in our mission.
