\VHO \VE ARE High Hopes Therapeutic Riding, Inc. offers therapeut ic riding and related equine assisted programs to indiv iduals of all ages who face physical, behavoria l and developmental challenges .

Letter fro1n the Board President and the Executive Director Dear Friends of Hi gh Hopes, Thirty years ago, Sis Gould was giving horseback riding lessons to a handful of people with disabilities in the backyard arena she and her husband Lytt owned in Hadlym e, CT. Before long, she had several prominent people in the conununity meeting on a regular basis to for m a nonprofit organization through which she could bring excellence in therapeutic riding to her own corrununity ... she had come to the lower Co nnecticut River Valley with a vision !

Within a few years, this little all volun teer movement had hired a therapeutic riding instructor and gained the strength and momentum to carry out a riding program for 18 children. It then sought and received accreditation from the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, the national association that Sis and many other High Hopes staff and volun teers have served in leadership roles.

From its very peginning, High Hopes had a commitment to leadership and excellence. These are words taken from the Instructo r's Report of Anne Talcott Wrig ht, first paid Riding Instructor:

"Jivearereadyto servea largerpopulationwith a wide rangeif disabilitiesbut must approachexpansionwith goodplanningand the prefessionalism whichalreadymarks our efforts."- Instructor's Report, 197 8 It has taken years, many challenges met and many milestones passed to get to where High H opes stands today, as a premier therapeutic riding center. In the late 1980's, it became clear to the Board of Directors that they needed to locate land, purchase it and -build our own facility.Th:et did that, and people came. Our ridership grew to more than 100 p er week and our volunteer core grew beyon'.;f}-~asure. By the mid 1990's, High Hopes' therapeuti c riding program officially qualified as one of the few programs in the country with the standards of excellence, volume and diversity in ridership and the professional staff to offer certification training courses to therapeutic riding instructors. We now train instructors from all parts of tl1e world, graduating well over 100 students to date from our Instructor Training Course.

Our weekly ridership has grown to over 200.We are now supported by almost 600 volun teers.

This is the vision that was brought to the lower Connecticut Ri ver Valley thirty years ago by our founde r. It now reaches to many corners of the globe as High Hopes touches the lives of thousands of people through our programs and services, with a worldwide reputation for excellence in therapeutic riding. Today,in 2004, our leadership in the field of therapeutic riding roust continue to symbolize the strength , persistence and dedication to a vision that Sis and all those who have continued to lead the way after her have woven into the enduring fabric of High Hope s.

Serving Southeastern Connecticut since 1974, High Hopes is committed to providing the highest
