In that time we <br />have given over 36,000 lessons to children and adults with disabilities in the Conejo Valley <br />alone. From the Walnut Grove Equestrian Center each week we are now serving about 110 <br />riders with disabilities, 25% of them on scholarship. Volunteers drawn from across the <br />community continue to be the cornerstone of our ability to deliver service — over 85,000 <br />volunteer hours have been dedicated to our mission. Our team now includes nine therapists and <br />nine instructors. Ride On remains the only nationally accredited Hippotherapy program in all of <br />Ventura County, as well as LA County. <br />Last year saw record service <br />delivery: 7,000 lessons and <br />therapy treatments given between <br />both ranches. The demand for our <br />service has continued to grow <br />even as the ability of families to <br />afford to pay has taken a hard hit. <br />Programming Accom lishments <br />In the Conejo Valley last year, we <br />gave approximately 3,075 lessons <br />and physical therapy treatments — <br />Hippotherapy. 75% of our riders <br />are children and the two biggest <br />populations served are autism <br />Ride 4n Lessons Given 1994 - 2014 <br />Grand Total by Dec '14: 83,400 <br />8000 <br />7000 <br />6000 <br />Is00o <br />0 <br />;uaoo0 <br />03000 <br />2000 �J <br />1000 m 1 <br />A�d', ,y°°,y°P,T°�',, Nr, '� -,,�Q',Vb' <br />A 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation.
