Founded in 2006 by Ken Scroggs and his daughter Kassidy, Hope Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center in Manhattan, Kansas, began as a dream that has evolved into a thriving program. Starting in a rented facility, the program has expanded to a 30,000 sq. ft. indoor arena on 35 acres in Riley County, Kansas. Kassidy played a pivotal role as a young board member and Program Coordinator until 2019. The organization aims to provide a safe, peaceful, and educational environment for individuals in its programs.
In 2018, Hope Ranch, Inc. acquired the Daisy Hindman Girl Scout Camp in Topeka, Kansas, leading to the establishment of the Mission Creek Camp & Retreat Center. The camp, which had its inaugural season in 2019, offers a unique experience that combines therapeutic riding with a camp environment for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, Hope Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center – Topeka officially opened its doors in the Spring of 2020.
