In 2025 the program served 33 horses, providing daily care, veterinary oversight, and individualized training to prepare horses for adoption. During the year 13 horses were successfully adopted, 6 were transferred to partner organizations better suited for specialized rehabilitation, and 11 remained in active training and adoption preparation at year end. The program also includes 3 permanent program horses that provide safe, calm learning partners for Veterans beginning their vocational horsemanship training. Adoption fees generated $40,525 in program service revenue, helping offset program costs. 58091 0 0 Elite Vocations is a vocational rehabilitation program providing hands-on horsemanship training and job placement support for at-risk Veterans. In 2025, 17 Veterans enrolled in the program, with 9 successfully graduating, 4 withdrawing, and 4 remaining actively enrolled at year end. Participants engage in structured instruction focused on horse care, handling, groundwork, barn management, and other practical skills applicable to careers in the equine industry. Through guided training and mentorship, participants work directly with horses from our New Horizons retraining program, contributing to their preparation for adoption while building confidence, emotional regulation, and career readiness. 183584 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 false false false false false false false false true 4 0 0 false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 7 7 true false false false false false false true false false true true true true true true true false CA X X Simon Marrier d'Unienville 8058687634 315 Jenner Way Arroyo Grande CA 93420 Andrew Dibbern DVM JD Board President 6.00 X X 8753 0 0 Simon Marrier d'Unienville Executive Director and Head Trainer 30.00 X 33581 0 0 Joseph Halsell Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Chad J Huck Secretary 1.50 X X 2000 0 0 Mary Ann Evans Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Yvonne Martin Board Member 1.50 X 0 0 0 Rashun Drayton Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Daniel Macal Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 44334 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 84686 0 0 106193 0 190879 Boarding and training fees related to horse transition and adoption program 1820 1820 0 0 Horse adoption fees for retrained horses placed into permanent homes 38705 38705 0 0 40525 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 19370 84686 37275 -17905 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 213499 40525 0 0 X 0 0 527 527 0 0 0 0 44334 44334 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 50 0 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24730 24730 0 0 2767 925 1505 337 4601 0 4601 0 3870 547 983 2340 0 0 0 0 47806 43025 4781 0 4884 4827 57 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15510 13959 1551 0 2101 2101 0 0 Horse care (feed, veterinary/medication, farrier, manure removal, transport) 26886 26886 0 Program participant meals and refreshments 13888 13888 Facility operations and maintenance 13798 11553 2245 0 0 0 0 0 11368 7617 1115 2636 217120 194919 16888 5313 25307 12227 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 152532 27574 112205 124958 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 137512 137185 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 137512 137185 0 0 25307 0 0 112205 137512 137185 137512 137185 -3621 0 0 0 3294 0 X false false X 0 0 0 55054 316506 210250 581810 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 55054 316506 210250 581810 96832 484978 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 581810 X 0.83360 0.76260 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 44664 1437 43227 107868 26137 81731 124958 Annual Gala 104056 84686 19370 0 0 3350 20952 550 12419 0 0 104056 84686 19370 0 0 3350 20952 550 12419 37271 -17901 Part VI, Line 2 Yvette Marrier d'Unienville (Program Director and Co-Founder) and Simon Marrier d'Unienville (Executive Director and Co-Founder) have a family relationship as spouses.
