H.O.P.E. Organization
(Horse Outreach Program through Education) is a non-profit 501(c)3 charity located
in Olmsted Township, Ohio. We rehabilitate unwanted, abused or neglected
equines while educating the public to love and respect these wonderful animals
so they may receive a caring new home.
Foster-Care/Leasing
& Adoption:
We offer on-site leasing opportunities on our horses. This gives
new horse owners the opportunity to learn everything needed to properly care
for a new horse and see if horse ownership is right for them.
We feel that 4-H
children are the horse owners of the future and it is a wonderful program that
teaches all aspects of horse ownership to children, should they choose horses
as their focus. Our
special 4-H leasing program allows children who need a horse, to use one of
our rescues as their project horse. Horses may be leased at our facility or
housed at your own facilty.
After rehabilitation
the horse is available for adoption to a permanent & loving home. An application
and contract are required.
Low
Cost Programs:
We offer low cost
programs to help instill a sense of compassion and responsibility for horses. These
programs were developed to help the community and our rescued horses. Our focus
is not only on the equine, but also on educating the public.Programs
include low cost riding/driving lessons, various clinics and workshops, a Scout
badge program for girl and boy scouts to earn their badge and low income adjustments.
All proceeds from our programs go directly back into the organization to pay
for our expenses. There are no fees paid directly to the instructors. Check out our website for a list of our 2007 educational clinics!
Volunteering:
We
are totally dependent upon volunteers to help care for our rescued horses.
We hold New Volunteer Orientations once a month. Anyone interested
in volunteering is welcome to attend. Contact Allison at allison@hopehorserescue.org for the next scheduled orientation date. You can RSVP for this meeting via our website.
