Over 115 volunteers each week donated over 14,077 hours of work. Almost 82% of each dollar raised went directly to put a disabled rider on a horse. The 3 Biggest Expenses are Our Horses, Our Ranch, Our Instructors. Ride On added an ADA approved ramp from the bam to the mounting area and continued to renovate our second barn in Thousand Oaks. We received support from the Doug Flutie Foundation for Scholarships for students with Autism; the Santa Monica Mounted Police for student and horse sponsorships; The Fanny and Svante Knistrom Foundation for scholarships; Help Youth Charities for office trailer improvements and the Amateur Athletic Foundation for the purchase of a horse. We used funds from Boeing to expand our Carriage Driving Program and from the Weingart Foundation to expand our Hippotherapy Program in Thousand Oaks. We launched an annual giving campaign —the Diamond Horseshoe Club. We received 88,000lbs of recycled rubber from the Ford Motor Co for arena footing_ We certified 3 additional NARHA Instructors, 2 EAGAL.A Level 1 Instructors and 2 Driving Instructors. We launched an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program in Chatsworth and our Hippotherapy program in Thousand Oaks. Mr. David H. Murdock donated the use of Ventura Farms for a gala fundraiser and his Conservatory for our Annual Giving Campaign Reception. The fundraiser will be held again this year on September 24, 2005. 75% of our riders are children; 50% are physically disabled and 50% are mentally disabled. Most riders have multiple disabilities requiring extensive staff and volunteer support. Lesson fees cover only 1I5 of the cost of a lesson so all riders benefit from scholarships raised by the volunteers of Ride On. Our staff includes 8 certified instructors, 4 Physical Therapists and 27 horses. Ride On remains the only nationally - accredited program in LA or Ventura counties which brings a Physical Therapist to our ranch to use the horses' movement to improve specific medical conditions.
