| High Hopes was designed to be fully accessible
to people with a wide range of disabilities. Assistive
technology is available both indoors and outdoors for use by riders
as needed, to ensure that everyone can participate in High Hopes’ programs.
The Land
High Hopes is located on 126 acres in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Our grounds include 30 acres of pastures with paddocks, over
3 miles of trails for riding and carriage driving, an outdoor
arena, and a specialized Sensory Integration Trail.
The Sis Gould Center for Therapeutic Riding
The primary building contains a family activity area and a volunteer
and staff kitchen, a 20,000-square-foot indoor arena, our staff offices,
a library, a state-of-the art classroom and a therapy
room for
unmounted therapeutic work. One wing of the building
encompasses a 21-stall barn, a tack room, a feed room, and a hayloft. A customized mounting ramp makes all areas of this facility
accessible to people who use wheelchairs.
