Overview

Mission

Ride with pride's primary exempt purpose is to give recreational and therapeutic horseback riding lessons to persons with disabilities. Children and adults with cognitive, physical and emotional disabilities attend either therapeutic riding lessons, or equine facilitated psychotherapy sessions, with certified instructors, licensed therapists and horse specialists. All our volunteers are trained on-site and have been mentored by experienced volunteers.

What it reported doing in 2013

Ride with pride began giving lessons in june 2010. Our fourth calendar year was rewarding but challenging. We moved facilities two times during this year. However, in spite of this we gave a total of 304 therapeutic riding lessons to 15 physically or mentally disabled children and adults. 42 volunteers donated over 3000 hours. Therapeutic riding lessons are subsidized by ride with pride for all individuals, and for those indentified as eligible, scholarships are given. About 15% of our riders received partial scholarships.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
