SSRCs lesson programs serve riders between the ages of 3 and a half to 85 years old, skill levels from beginner to advanced, i.e. jumping and competition riders, and adaptive riders, riders with disabilities. Available to all riders is a scholarship fund and sliding scale fee program. Since opening, 100 participants have received financial assistance, which is a quarter of all participants. These lessons utilize SSRCs school horses so riders may learn and advance through skill levels without the financial burden of having to purchase their own horse. Having a large and skilled herd of school horses allows SSRC to serve such a diverse group of riders, while meeting their individual and unique needs. SSRC served 128 riders in these two programs. SSRC instructors and horses are incredible teachers with the unique ability to challenge and reward a rider emotionally, physically, socially, and mentally. Riders are taught to be mindful, empathetic, observant, confident, responsible, aware of their actions, and cognizant of their behaviors. These necessary life skills transcend beyond the riding arena and into daily lives. Additionally, riding as a recreational and sporting activity gets riders off their devices, moving their bodies, and into the outdoors. 67392 128281 20218 17645 13478 COLLABORATIONS 13478 224440 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 8 false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 6 4 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false X Jennifer Pillow 5204046695 7451 E 39th St Tucson AZ 85730 Lauren Schroeder Executive Director 40 X X 13000 0 0 Michael Martinez Board Chair 1 X X 0 0 0 Katherine West Treasurer 1 X X 0 0 0 Annie Jeong Secretary 1 X X 0 0 0 Anne Marie Wagner Member 1 X 0 0 0 Melanie Roeder Program Director 40 X 13000 0 0 26000 0 0 false false false 98000 98000 Program Lesson Fees 990099 50885 50885 Boarding and Leasing Fees 112920 128281 128281 Therapeutic/Adaptive Student Fees 990099 17645 17645 196811 21400 7706 13694 0 13694 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fee income 40 40 40 308545 196811 0 40 23426 23426 84645 84645 400 400 8176 8176 2524 2524 6315 6315 814 540 274 7343 3110 1298 2935 9684 1929 7755 65 65 47125 47125 2741 2604 137 13161 8240 4921 Equine Related Costs 90845 90845 Bank Fees 4591 4591 Dues & Subscriptions 655 460 195 0 0 0 0 302510 224440 74940 3130 37157 44493 8 8 317 2985 61 781 836178 2741 825898 833437 36480 25572 899921 907276 800 750 3735 5705 3250 3250 725000 725000 600 733385 734705 X 166536 172571 166536 172571 899921 907276 6035 X false false false false false X 28012 63422 104530 189086 98000 483050 102124 115530 117560 153294 196811 685319 130136 178952 222090 342380 294811 1168369 10604 7220 5950 5000 28774 22255 38745 58402 119402 10604 7220 28205 38745 63402 148176 1020193 24 5 29 3270 21400 24670 0 0 0 3294 21405 24699 130136 178952 222090 345674 316216 1193068 0.86000 0.91000 0.02070 0.02070 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false 0 false 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 774757 774757 40777 40777 0 16780 1195 15585 3864 1546 2318 833437 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Melanie Roeder Board Member Operations X 3250 3250 false true true 3250 Form 990, Part IV, Section B, Line 11 The Board of Directors reviews the Form 990 prior to filing.
