DIRECTORS
whose lives we move in a direcl:ion of hope and happines s, reward and success. Working with our committed volunt eers, a dedicated professional staff and caring families, they have the possibility
to
push the limits of disabilit ies to new horizons in a safe haven where they receive unconditional care and love. These horizons go beyond the spiritual, to ones chat are truly pracl:ical in the carry-over benefirs that are gained from one participant to the next. One family experienced their 8 year-old son with Autism sleeping through the night for the very first time after spend ing 3 days at High Hopes with his mother in our multi-therapy immersion summer camp that we piloted for the second time chis year. This little gain is a big example of the profound impacl: we have on the lives of each and every person that walks in the door at High Hopes.

A bond, shared
High Hopes Staff
Much of rhe benefit that comes from being a participant in Hi gh Hopes ' programs is from the bond s that are form ed; th e bond between hor se and rider an d the hu man bond betwee n a rider and a volunteer. Th e following statement from Hi gh Hop es instructo r Kacie Guernsey reflects on one student 's positive outcome as a result of his rime at Hi gh Hopes and the bond s he formed with his volunt eer sidewalker:
Alison Zack Darrell, Executive DireElor
'John (the name has been changed for confidentiality) is a terrific eight year old with Attention Defi cit/ Hyperaclivity Disorder. When john Harted the program he was shy and tentative and did not Hand out with any leadership role within his group. It was quickly apparent that John was a natural rider and with his eagerand curious nature he became one of the quickeH learners I have ever inflrucled. The Heady, rhythmic movement of johns horse helped him to focus and to work hard at underHanding and controlling his horse. Johns teacher remarked that this improved focus carried over to classroom aclivitiesfollowing his time at High Hopes.
Program Adminiflrative Assiflant
"But more than john's natural ability one other positive gain Hands out from his time riding at High Hop es and that was the incredible bond john formed with his side walker, the volunteer who walks next to the horse and acls as an assiflant, providing different types of support as needed by the rider: Because ofjohn's ability it was determined that he could ride without the benefit of the side walker, but after trying this john found that he missed the companionship and friendship he had formed with his volunteer: John's friendship with his volunteer was as important a component in his therapy at High Hopes as his riding and coupled with the bond and maflery that John had with his horse his self confidence visibly increased and he assumed a quiet Leadershiprole within his riding group. When other riders balked at having to use a side walker, John quickly defended their role Hating 'it'sjuH Likehaving a fr iend"'.

Vocational Training The human-animal bond is a powerful learning tool. Caring for and training animals, particularly in a large stable or farm setting, requires patience , communication skills, responsib le behavior and team work. These are all life skills that serve young people well in any work setting . A vocational training program in a farm environment that is coord inat ed with the school system and a social service or other counseling professional offers students an alternative to standard learning tracks. Visit High Hopes on any day of the year and most likely you will meet a participant in our expanding vocationa l training program . Man y of the students enrolled in this group have been identified by social service professionals and guidance counselor s as "at risk" youth and most have little or no family support systems in place, are not func\:ioning well academically and have social and/or emotional difficulties. Their chances for graduating from high school and going to college or finding a job that will support them are slim. High Hopes is a community-centered organization that encourage s collaborative efforts and wit h its pastures, barn, and horses offers students just such a healing environment in which to work. Students who come to High Hopes are exposed to a variety of challenges and learning opportunities through observing and assisting in therapeutic riding lessons, work ing and learning abou t hor se care and interac\:ing with the staff. In this struc\:ured and accepting environment these students are given a chance to gain self-confidence, learn some basic life and work skills, and perhaps achieve a level of success not attainab le in the past.

Autism Multi-therapy Program Autism is a severe disability affell:ing a growing number of children. Therapeutic riding as an intervention tool for this population is becoming the focus of increased study. Based on the success of our pilot program High Hopes is committed to further development and study for this type of therapy in the treatment of auti sm. Our exper ience in the therapeutic riding profession has proven that we can have a positive impall: on children with autism. Over the course of the academic year, as well as throu gh a special summ er camp, selell:ed participants were imm ersed in various therapeutic all:ivities to help them satisfy rhe myriad of needs chat accompany their diagnoses. All:iviries at each session combined eq uin e related therapy with a session of occupational therapy or an expressive therapy (arr and/or music) experience. The program was strull:ured to provide the int ense one-on-one therapy that better meets the needs of chis population; the variety of therapeutic experiences offered comp lemen ts and strengthens the effell:iveness of each treatment session. The participants of this program benefit in countl ess ways. They learn eye hand coordination, increase their muscle tone and strength , improve their balance and learn ro follow direll:ions. With the help of our ream of insrrull:ors, volunteers and gencle horses, riders learn to crust and overcome th eir fears and anxieties. We receive feedback from their parents and classroom teachers that these changes last beyond the lesson period - they extend into the classroom an d at hom e. We hear time and time again that the inattentive, disruptive stud ent becomes more focused and motivated to listen and behave in class and at hom e after participating in our therapeutic riding program. During chis summer's program, one parenc reported that her child went to sleep by himself for che first rime in his eight year old life, an accomplishment that can have a major impall: on the life of the participant and family. The ot her recurring message we receive is that for many of our participants it is the only all:ivity that makes them feel equal to ch ildren who do not have disabilities. It builds confidence and self esteem in anxious, withdrawn, socially disconnell:ed par ticipants, making it possible for them to achieve things they thought were completely beyond the ir reach. These are changes that ultimately will benefit others as these chi ldren grow into adulthood and become part of the community .

Volunteers Volunteering at Hi gh Hop es is so much more than a weekly, monthl y or even yearly donation of time and service. Volunt eerism at High Hop es is a willingness to become part of a larger comm uni ty. It is based on giving somethin g of oneself and receiving back into ones care ano ther person's hop es and dreams . On a mor e practical level the work that Hi gh Hopes volunteers perform has a substantial monetar y value. W ith nearly
600
volunteers donating
we realize a quantifiab le contrib ution of$
384,000
.
26 ,0 00
hour s in support of our programs
This represents a contribution of human resources
which dramatically decreases our operating expenses. VOLUNTEERS
