Equest served 246 unduplicated clients and delivered 5,126 rider hours during the year ended December 31, 2015. Equest has experienced an average of 16% annual growth of program participants since 2011. The annual cost per rider is approximately $6,500. On average, 86% of all program expenses for the general rider population are underwritten. In 2015, the majority of program growth was in the veterans program where 100% of the expense is underwritten. Equest was the first, and continues to be one of the largest, non-profit therapeutic riding centers in Texas. Through our program, our clients see improvement in muscle tone, strength, flexibility and balance. Additionally, our horse therapy allows our riders to achieve cognitive, social and emotional development resulting in increased self-esteem, concentration and independence. Equest's therapeutic riding opportunities are a powerful catalyst to profound accomplishments in the lives of our riders and their families. 2070856 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 1 true 45 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X MARTHA JOHNSON 9724121099 3800 TROY ROAD WYLIE TX 75098 Nekima Booker Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Phyllis Glazer Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paulette Hopkins Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF BYRON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEGHAN NYLIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FLOYD Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RANDALL ROOT BOARD MEMBER 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Kennedy Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 William Noble Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Johnson Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN SCHWARTZ Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Seeger Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDY STEINGASSER Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOCELYN WHITE Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Earhart VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Christina Collins Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LILI KELLOGG CEO EFF 10/2015 40.00 0.00 X 107254 0 8500 Patrick Bricker CEO RES 10/2015 40.00 0.00 X 171531 0 8500 278785 17000 2 false true false CYBERNUT SOLUTIONS 1515 N TOWN E BLVD MESQUITE TX 75150 IT SERVICES 101256 1 361432 356531 1347442 2065405 Rider Fees & Special Serv 900099 182634 182634 182634 15296 15296 0 0 0 0 564621 361432 441631 122990 122990 0 0 Other Income 900099 7116 7116 7116 2393441 182634 145402 0 0 0 0 278786 193020 42883 42883 0 876278 749701 41221 85356 4139 3378 301 460 133689 109112 9734 14843 96983 79154 7062 10767 0 0 50875 50875 0 88354 88354 8969 8969 89729 22603 67077 49 62719 16940 3388 42391 46440 40867 3251 2322 129261 113750 9048 6463 0 171297 150741 11991 8565 44237 44237 0 4863 4863 24692 24692 0 141481 124503 9904 7074 90593 72092 14405 4096 Horse maintenance 218688 218688 Other Expenses 84775 56636 28139 Special Program Services 46467 46467 FUNDRAISING 7814 7814 8145 4275 3870 2709274 2070856 316981 321437 133726 144703 906862 777189 10000 0 71105 14052 0 0 0 0 39460 21961 2530960 1154536 1312611 1376424 655686 589759 0 0 0 0 3129450 2924088 109963 92146 5297 442712 597734 557972 689880 X 846724 551377 908395 866472 816359 816359 2571478 2234208 3129450 2924088 -315833 -21437 X false true X true false X 687198 887603 1074298 2178844 2051019 6878962 0 0 687198 887603 1074298 2178844 2051019 6878962 1242950 5636012 5782 15619 44035 18525 15296 99257 0 4128 7171 17415 233547 130106 392367 7370586 1353185 0.76470 0.74010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 716230 -7291 -36037 -8969 663933 735185 24637 -36355 -7237 716230 711836 62090 -35723 -3018 735185 667199 82205 -33938 -3630 711836 721874 -18201 -35060 -1414 667199 1.00000 false false false 420888 420888 1291866 721381 570485 33719 -33719 547732 340413 207319 -2 270476 59023 211451 1376424 X 2372004 -21437 -21437 2393441 2393441 2709274 2709274 2709274 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
