Equest served 246 unduplicated clients and delivered 5,126 rider hours during the year ended December 31, 2014. 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 2014, 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. 1416772 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 11 1 true 40 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 19 19 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 MELISSA COOKSEY Chair Emeritus 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Emily Hargrove Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM FLOYD Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Kennedy Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Noble Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Waverly Smith Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Stallcup Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NATALIE SNYDER Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DAWN SPALDING Chair Elect 1.00 0.00 X 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 Kim Raschke 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 Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Coker Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Earhart Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Collins Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick Bricker CEO 40.00 0.00 X 160253 0 9213 160253 9213 1 false true false Ranch & Golf Design and Build Corporation PO Box 1785 Montgomery TX 77356 Construction 130943 1 247678 95913 1835253 20000 2178844 Rider Fees & Special Serv 900099 306192 306192 306192 18525 18525 0 0 0 0 522059 247678 302088 219971 0 0 Other Income 900099 13576 13576 13576 2737108 306192 32101 0 0 0 0 160253 80127 40063 40063 0 677155 512908 48064 116183 7938 5622 835 1481 84814 60064 8925 15825 65365 46290 6879 12196 0 60 60 31905 31905 0 33189 33189 7236 7236 109831 52118 56314 1399 15167 5524 1105 8538 31279 27525 2190 1564 56647 49849 3966 2832 0 84640 74483 5924 4233 43341 43341 0 13413 12242 1171 24693 24693 0 113512 99891 7945 5676 42447 34293 6206 1948 Horse maintenance 179126 179126 Other Expenses 65266 18738 46528 Special Program Services 45862 45862 Fundraising expenses 23444 23444 50879 44076 6803 1967462 1416772 282119 268571 174624 133726 258526 906862 61449 10000 39751 71105 0 0 0 0 46850 39460 2325666 1013055 1145906 1312611 476659 655686 0 0 0 0 2203765 3129450 41962 109963 5771 5297 360850 442712 408583 557972 X 904013 846724 74810 908395 816359 816359 1795182 2571478 2203765 3129450 769646 6650 X false true X true false X 879047 687198 887603 1074298 2178844 5706990 0 0 879047 687198 887603 1074298 2178844 5706990 1208147 4498843 14909 5782 15619 44035 18525 98870 0 10444 4128 7171 17415 233547 272705 6078565 1465211 0.74010 0.84780 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 735185 24637 -36355 -7237 716230 711836 62090 -35723 -3018 735185 667199 82205 -33938 -3630 711836 721874 -18201 -35060 -1414 667199 702715 54659 -35500 721874 1.00000 false false false 420888 420888 1285066 693200 591866 387718 276261 111457 231994 43594 188400 1312611 X 2743758 6650 6650 2737108 2737108 1967462 1967462 1967462 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
