Horse Show Days Horse show days were held in late May with many bright and sunny days making for a week of genuine celebration of “horses & humans improving lives.” During this special week of classes, participants invite their friends and family to watch, meet their favorite horse, connect with their volunteers, and learn from their instructors. During these classes, our instructors are able to explain the benefits of equine assisted activities and therapies and enable their students to showcase the skills that they have worked on during the year. Ribbon presentations are the highlight of each class for presenters and participants alike, and their smiles are priceless. At the same time, new visitors are offered the opportunity of learning more about our special herd of therapy horses and take time to visit the unique facility that the whole High Hopes’ community are fortunate enough to enjoy.

Oh, How Sweet it Was! Nearly twelve months of planning goes into our biggest fundraiser of the year when our supporters and High Hopes family come together to magically transform our riding arena into a gala venue like no other. 650 guests joined us this year and once again we were delighted to break Moondance’s record auction revenue. We could not have done that without the amazing generosity of all of those who donated, as well as those who bid. Donations included luxury travel, adventures near and far, pet pampering, fine jewelry & unique art, tickets to sporting and cultural events, and priceless “experiences.” Our scholarship video this year featured “Mark’s Story,” a look into the experience of one of High Hopes Veterans’ Program participants. Jeff Dorion and the team from Julia Balfour, LLC, took a sensitive approach to an already heartfelt story that took courage to tell and we were honored to have Mark and his wife Tricia join us. Our grateful thanks to everyone who contributed to, and attended “How Sweet it is.” We can’t wait to see you at the 2019 “Big Barn Bash!”

Volunteers “High Hopes fosters a community where horse and human interactions improve lives.” As High Hopes enters its 45th year, we have updated not only our logo but also our mission statement. Nowhere is our new mission more clearly demonstrated than through our corps of 652 volunteers. Volunteers make up 97% of High Hopes’ “workforce” and without you, we could not have provided over 1,500 participants with 12,000 activities and therapies in 2017–2018. So whether you donate your valuable time for an hour or two a week, or a few hours a year; whether you are a sidewalker, a feeder, auction solicitor, office helper; whether you are giving back, or paying forward; we want you to know that you are critical to our mission and, quite simply put, High Hopes would not exist without you. Thank you.
