Our model connects horsemanship with life skills in a safety-first environment. This adaptive program includes lessons in basic riding, dressage, western and jumping. We served 90-110 clients per week, about 50 percent of whom were children, and 3 percent of whom were Veterans.Approximately 70 percent of our clients self-identify as having a physical, cognitive, or emotional diagnosis.In our Equestrian Vaulting Program, clients of all abilities learn how to combine gymnastics and dance in partnership while atop a moving horse. We accentuate partnership with the horse, teammates, longueur, and coach. We served 6-14 clients a week, all of whom were children. Approximately, 50 percent of these clients self-identify as having a diagnosis.In our Driving Program, clients learn to control an equine from the seat of a cart or carriage. Driving allows individuals of all abilities, even those who would not be able to participate in Riding or Vaulting, to be able to enjoy the freedom of moving with a horse. We obtained a horse trained in driving, a cart to fit him, and spent time on training both the horse and the volunteers needed for a program. We did not serve clients in this program.Weekly sessions are held year round, with the exception of 1 or 2 weeks of break at the end of each quarterly session. 248365 130958 Clinical Services (Rehabilitative Services and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy)Our Rehabilitative Services (Hippotherapy) Program is therapy for people with physical and developmental challenges. Our licensed and highly trained therapists provide Physical Therapy,Occupational Therapy, and Speech and Language Pathology. Each clinician uses the uniquely therapeutic and challenging movement of the horse to add to the other benefits and modalities of their field of expertise. We served 25-32 clients each week, 90 percent of whom were children.Our Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) is therapy for personal growth and treatment for those with mental health diagnoses. Sessions are available for adults, adolescents, and children, which can take place in an individual, family, or group therapy setting. We served 10-20 clients per week, about 50 percent of whom were children, and 10 percent of whom were Veterans.Weekly sessions are held year round, with the exception of 1 or 2 weeks of break at the end of each quarterly session.We completed work on the Large Arena, 6 Mini Barns, horse turnouts, a riding path on the perimeter of the property and work accomodations for staff in the Summer of 2017. While the debt incurred in building the facility required us to sell the property, we now have a 50 year lease, renewable in 5 year increments. We have continued to improve the property, adding a viewing areas and two bathrooms in the Spring of 2018. 24035 Personal Development (Volunteer, Vocational, Equine Facilitated Learning)Our Volunteer Program provides opportunities for everyone over the age of 12 to give back to our organization and learn new skills. We have between 100 and 150 volunteers per week and about 300 total individuals throughout the year. These volunteers help with our clinical services, inclusive equestrian sports and assist with caring for our herd of therapy horses and ponies.Our Vocational Training Program provides internships specifically designed for clients who may otherwise have difficulties gaining regular employment to benefit from real-life work experience. Each intern works up to 10 hours per week under the supervision of a staff member. Each intern receives individualized and personalized learning plans that focus on their particular needs and interest. We served 3 individuals, 16-24 years old, all three of which continued in our volunteer program after completing their internship.Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is an experiential learning approach that promotes the development of life skills for educational, professional and personal goals through equine-assisted activities. We provided one time EFL experiences and 4-6 week curriculum based EFL sessions to clients. Some of the learning included communication, body language, group dynamics and problem solving. We provided almost 285 client hours of EFL in the 2017-2018 year. 801177 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 38 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false OR X Robin Adams 5035902959 23839 SW Daniel Rd Beaverton OR 97078 Charles Adams Board Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robin Adams Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rena Snyder Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robin Cook Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Feves Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melody Finn Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Feves Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kara Martin-Bejeir Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Sjordal Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Burdge Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 69802 0 0 Amber Varner Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 48565 0 0 118367 0 false false false 0 94335 1199804 41581 1294139 Program fees 421709 421709 421709 0 0 0 3525 3525 3525 3525 1402400 2780707 -1378307 -1378307 -1378307 39635 94335 33048 6587 0 0 Misc income 7989 7989 7989 355642 -953073 7989 0 0 0 0 118367 71020 35510 11837 0 344650 261262 31674 51714 0 23264 16695 3376 3193 40644 29274 5858 5512 0 588 436 78 74 10730 7700 1557 1473 0 0 0 29763 28995 395 373 0 39009 28367 2715 7927 0 0 64342 47564 8622 8156 2689 2332 43 314 0 0 20241 20241 0 22267 22267 4371 3137 634 600 Horse care and supplies 202125 201671 454 Fundraising events 31370 12132 979 18259 Client Assistance 27925 27925 Repairs and Maintenance 13738 13738 8964 6421 1198 1345 1005047 801177 92639 111231 10715 119221 0 66000 69819 21649 0 0 0 0 5183 259949 90171 1943943 169778 0 0 0 0 0 2024477 381831 253590 65924 29247 7164 20958 859440 24990 30000 1142277 149036 X 882200 155121 77674 882200 232795 2024477 381831 -649405 X true X false false false X 129815 140092 459107 1089102 1294139 3112255 348268 359598 311744 411992 421709 1853311 41059 38156 49969 129184 0 0 519142 537846 820820 1501094 1715848 5094750 110667 131869 242536 0 110667 131869 242536 4852214 0 0 0 0 519142 537846 820820 1501094 1715848 5094750 0.95240 0.98180 0.00000 X 47903 2395 45508 192838 71434 121404 19208 16342 2866 169778 810190 421500 33048 454548 355642 355642 1459595 421500 33048 454548 1005047 1005047 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Fundraising expenses $33048 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Fundraising expenses $33048 false Annual Gala 133970 94335 39635 27725 5323 133970 94335 39635 27725 5323 33048 6587 X Horse supplies 16 32985 FMV X Auction supplie 6 8596 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The 990 is reviwed by the Board prior to filing Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts All directors must disclose potential conflicts of interest Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available Governing documents and financial information is available upon request
