Who we are:
High Hopes Therapeutic Riding, Inc. offers therapeutic riding and related equine assisted programs to individua ls of all ages who face physical, behavioral and developmental challenge s. Serving Southeastern Connecticut since 1974, High Hopes is committed to providing the highest quality servicesto our community , and to training and educating therapeutic riding instru ctor students from around th e wor ld.
Building Relationships Through ... Compassion Partnership Trust Understanding friendship Education Volunteering Encouragement Teamwork Collaboration Cooperation Sharing Accomplishment ...
Dear High Hopes Family Members, Maya Angelou once said, "If you find it in your heart to care for someone else, you have succeeded ." At High Hopes, we care about each and every person we meet: the young man with a brain injur y who is searching for an activity that will help with his balance and coordination; the child with auti sm whose parents seek a new way to encourage communication and int eraction; the vo lunteer who is looking for a meaningful way to contr ibut e to the community. All of these individuals become part of the High Hopes family, and we build relationships with them to create a powerful bond of support. During the past 12 months we have been building new relationships as well as foster ing long -stand in g ones, both of which are essential to our growth and development. We have been reaching out to the community with new program initia tives such as vocat ion al educat ion, and we attracted a record number of th erape uti c ridin g instructor cand idat es to High Hopes for certification and training. Our nationally recognized sensory integration trail system has been enhanced to pro¡vide more variety and challenge, and we broadened the range of creative activities we offer in our curriculum to keep our participants stimul ated and engaged . Another area of intensive focus was our volunt eer trainin g and orientation program, which we substan ti ally up graded to meet the needs of the more than 150 dedicated volunt eers who work with our riders and horses. This was an effort we know will have a long-term positive effect on the quality of our programs. Last, but by no means least, our Board and Staff spent countles s h ours creating a comprehensive strategic plan that will serve as our guide to organizational planning and achievement over the ne xt three years. Added together, these endeavors represent a sign ificant step forward for High Hopes. Each tim e we move ahead, ho wever, we also loo k back to be sure we are fulfilling our mission and serving our participants to the very best of our ability. We are committed to recognizing and staying in touch with those who founded High Hopes as we embrace new friends and supporters, and this year we h eld our fourth Founders' Day celebrat ion in their honor. Those early relationships are the foundation of our success and h ave sustaine d us from our humble beginnings in 1974 right up to today . We are privileged to have their continued support and encouragement, along with that of our new friends. Together we are building relationships for the future, one rider, one horse, one step at a time. With best wishes to you and your families, j
