to
offset our sadness as Alison moves
on. I am delighted rhar Program Director Kirry Sralsburg, a 22-year veteran at High Hopes, has been named to succeed Alison. And I'm pleased

PHILOSOPHY
ticipants can be a part of our programs for life. There is no prescribed time dictating when someone finishes at High Hopes, and no one ever says its time ro leave. Instead, there are transitions to other levels of achievement. For one particular group of young teenage girls, that transition meant growing from being participants to becoming High Hopes volunteers. Many of these young women came ro High Hopes during their elementary school years and presented a wide range of mild ro moderate disabilities. The girls started to ride and quickly fell in love with the world of horses. Over the years the instru ctors and volunteers at High Hopes watched this group grow from children into teenagers, watched them gain the physical and emotional strength needed co help them progress at schoo l and home and watched them become proficient horsewomen with a deep and abiding bond to their eq uin e partners. One such rider was Anya Mummert. For over seven years Anya rode at High Hop es, and during that time she blossom ed from a shy, withdrawn and timid girl in to a confident rider willing to rake chances by en tering the world of comp etitive riding . Anya has her own pony now, Cinderella, an d is an active mem ber of the Connecticut Valley Pony Club. But, for all the fun and joy that comes from inde pendent riding and compet ing, Anya and her friends wanted to maintain th e connection with Hi gh ,\BO\'L:

Hopes. For this group , High Hopes had become more than just a place

years and the tumu ltuo us physical and social changes that come abou t. To suppo rt these develop ing needs, Kitty Stalsbu rg and her staff at High Hopes structured a volunteer program for Anya and her friends co meet regularly at H igh Hopes, where they can con tinue to develop their equin e skills while supporting a whol e new group of young and inexp erienced riders with special needs. Bur mor e importantly, they continue to belong

at High Hopes, Andrew has
been a part of che fabric of our weekly program since we can remembe r. Andrew started out as a young rider on the ever-steady Latino and eventually reached rhe point where he was an independent rider with no sidewalkers or lead lines. Andrew enjoyed all che aspects of his weekly ride with Latino until one day, like all good riders eventually do, he fell from Larina's back. Physically unharmed, but with his confidence badly shaken, Andrew began a long push /pull relationship with che horses at High Hopes. Recognizing his need to continue with our program yet remaining fearful of remounting and riding, Andrew was placed in the vocational training program where he worked under rhe watchful eye of his training coach , and High Hopes instructor, Mary Washburn. Together Mary and Andrew worked to learn new skills in horse care and worked to learn crust of each ABOVE:

Together is Better ONE
OF
THE MANTRA'S HEARD around High Hopes is the expression "together
is better" and nowhere is that better demonstrated than in the special partnership that exists between the teachers, parents, volunteers, instructors and horses that serve the children from Killingworth Elementary School. Together they have forged a bond that has lasted over the years and continued through the student's transitions into Middle School. One demonstration
of that bond came this past year
when the teachers, parents and aides of our student riders grouped together and held several fundraisers co raise money to offset the cost of providing services to their children at High Hopes. Over the years High Hopes had provided critical scholarship doll ars to Killingworth
Elementary, but these caregivers now
wanted co make a contribution of their own towards the costs of their students participation. When thanked by the staff of High Hopes for making this truly heartfelt donation,
the parents and teachers emphasized chat
they wanted co make their own investment in a program that each week gives their students the skills needed to progress in both the classroom and at home, all while providin g a place of unconditional
acceptance. This partnership between home,
school and High Hopes enhances our program and helps these students succeed far beyond all our expectations.

Pat Varho ly, Regiona l
District r 8 Directo r of Special Services stares "The opportunity for a schoo l district to have a facility like High Hopes within its border s is uuly a unique blessing and a wonderful oppormnity for our students. The partnership rhar we experience with rhe staff at High Hopes enables us ro offer our students a therapeutic experience chat is excellent on so many levels. Nways looking for oppormniries ro meet rhe needs of a variety of stude ms, Kitty Stalsbu rg and her amazing staff respond to our smdenrs and their families wirh the highest degree of professionalism and compassion. Ir is not possible ro measure the impact char High Hopes has on our commu nity and the smdents and families who are served by its excellem programs.

part of their classroom curricu lum as well. Preschool teachers, Kinny Newman and Maria Varga, from Mile Creek Elementary Schoo l recently wrote "High Hope s is a magical place! Preschoolers and horses natur ally go together and che growth chat occur s because of chis special kinship is priceless!"
Thefull text of their statement isprinted below.

Volunteers JEANNA PELLINO, THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR at High Hopes, is often asked "Where do your volunteers come from?" Not a quick and easy answer. With close to
active volunteers
500
they come from all across the state of Connecticut and into Rhode Island. They learn about High Hopes through word of mouth or after attending a High Hopes event. Many volunteers learn about High Hopes after reading about our program in a local paper or hearing a radio ad on a favorite station. Some volunteers are family members of participants and many of former participants who want to stay involved with our horses and staff. We have volunteers who are retired CEO's of major corporations working alongside elementary school teachers, high school students and Coast Guard cadets. This past spring and summer, High Hopes also benefited from rhe volunteer efforts of three young men working
to
attain their Eagle Scout badges. Together Adam Clark, Greg
Laird and Alex Jagielski from Troop 474 in Guilford helped to create a new mounting ramp for our outdoor arena, a kiosk with trail maps and a rider operared railroad bridge for our sensory trails. 1heir hard work created lasting improvements that will enhance the High Hopes experience for all our participants. We thank them, and all High Hopes volunteers, for their tremendous and invaluable dedication co our mission. VOLUNTEERS Sally Aubrey
