OFFICERS
Dear High Hopes Family,
riding center, will provide:
This year's hosting of the Special Olympics World Games was truly a testimonial to just how far and wide High Hopes can reach to touch the lives of individuals, and it gives me great pride to see the interna tional acclaim that High Hopes has achieved.
• First and foremost, quality personalized equine programs integrated with complementary services and activities to help those, who in our professional judgment, will benefit from our programs.
We are now a major part of a global movement to bring therapeutic riding to more and more people through the excellence of our organization. This excellence is exemplified by our highly qualified staff and governing board, carefully trained and,selected horses, and a full complement of extremely dedicated and talented volunteers.
• Training programs for High Hopes participants , volunteers, and horses. In addition, as a leader in the therapeutic riding industry, provide NARHA approved training to meet the needs of other therapeutic riding programs nationally.
Along with our international strides, High Hopes has taken important steps organizationally to prepare itself for the future. This year, we directed our efforts toward building our Endowment to ensure that our financial needs will be met well into the 21st century.
• National leadership in research, and advocacy for the benefits of therapeutic riding and other equine activities .
We also took the essential first steps of a compre hensive long-range planning process by reaffirming our Mission and developing a Vision and Values statement. Thiswillbe the core of our 5-year Strategic Plan.
Our work is centered around the individual needs of our participants, and is guided by a core set of val ues. We believe in:
Another major step toward preparing High Hopes for future growth was the completion of a long awaited Caretaker's Cottage and expansion of the office space. These facility enhancements have opened up a whole new realm of possibilities for improving and extending the therapeutic riding and training services that we may someday provide.
• The importance of compassion and sensitivity for our horses and participants.

LEITER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear High Hopes Family, Wecan all take great pride and share in the accomplishmentsof High Hopes over the past year. It was a year that started and ended with milestoneachievements, opening with the SpecialOlympicsWorldGamesand closingwith the reaccreditationof High Hopes TherapeuticRiding,Inc.by the North AmericanRidingfor the HandicappedAssociation(NARHA).
It was also a year in which High Hopes realizeda profound loss when SisGould, our belovedfounder and "spiritualleader" suddenlydied, leaving we mortals to herdreamalive! keep This came as a tall order given the hands-on support, spirit and visionwhich Sisbreathedinto every aspect of High Hopes. I am extremelypleased to report, that through the strengthand loyaltyof the many remarkableindividualswho share Sis's visionand values,High Hopes continuesto be at the forefrontof the therapeutic riding movement,while at the same time maintainingits localintegrity. Thispast year,in addition to achievingNARHAreaccreditationunder the newly establishedsite visitationprocess,High Hopesbecameone of only two operating centersin the countryapprovedby NARHAto offer an InstructorTrainingCourse;was honored nationallythrough the JamesBradyProfessionalAchievementAward, which was receivedby our very own Boardmember,Judy Lightfoot;and receivedthe NARHARegionI Horse of the YearAward,which was given to Romey,our 30year old thoroughbredwho valiantlyserved in our program for 15 years. Meanwhile,as High Hopes continued to achievenationalacclaimin the therapeuticriding industry,we began to reach out to localeducatorsand communitygroups to build programs for youth-at-riskto volunteer with our horsesand specialneeds riders;for other young people to learn to volunteerthrough High Hopes mentors;and for people with varyingdisablingconditionsto participatein carriagedriving. Weofferedfield trips and experientiallearningsessionsto hundreds of children,including those from the Girl Scoutsof America,Cub Scouts,LEARN,BigBrothersBigSisters,New LondonCommunityCenterand the FoundersSchool. Other groups who were part of the High Hopes familythis past year,and offeredinvaluableserviceas volunteers,includeVistaVolunteers,CommunityService Volunteers,NianticWomen'sCorrectionalInstitution,Gate's CorrectionalInstitution, RSVPand ConnecticutValleyHospitalVolunteerProgram. Wecelebratedour 120-125year-roundriders at the AnnualStudent Horse Show,and 3 of them representedHigh Hopesin the CTSpecialOlympics. Througha scholarshipgift from The ChesterW.KitchingsFoundation,a group of 7 specialneeds childrenfrom Nathan Hale Schoolin New London were able to ride throughoutthe schoolyear;and a grant from the FrankLoomisPalmerFund enabled10inner-citychildrenfrom the EdgertonSchoolin New Londonto ride during the Fall program. Numerousother specialgifts enabledanother 15individualsto ride during the year through the financialassistanceof our scholarshipprogram. The accomplishmentsof our volunteerswho brought about the 1995Old LymeAntiquesShowand the Symphonyin the Meadowsbenefiteventsfor High Hopes are simply unmeasurable,and I continueto marvel at the depth of support that High Hopes enjoysfrom over 200program,barn and officevolunteers. In my first year as ExecutiveDirector,I have cometo know that High Hopes is more than a set of riding servicesfor people with specialneeds...it is a set of values and practicescreatingan environmentthat changespeopleslives...it is the realizationof a dream envisionedby our late founder,SisGould,of a place where in her words, "kindness through givingcreateslove." It is these words that bind the High Hopes family together,and it is these words that will continueto bring nourishmentto our many faithfulsupporters, riders and
their families,horses,volunteersand staff,to keep Sis's dream alive!

This report to our members and supporters is dedicated to our founder and eternal inspiration, Mary K. "Sis'' Gould ... to her indomitable spirit, and to her undying belief that therapeutic riding and carriage driving can bring immeasurable good and love into the lives of those who need it so much. We dedicate this annual report to her to mark the year in which she passed, with the hope that her inspiration and vision will continue to guide us from this day forward. With her perpetual guidance, High Hopes holds great promise to seek ever greater heights and new horizons for the future of therapeutic riding and carriage driving, and to continue to be the "best at what we do."
