Hope Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center
Hope Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center at 3715 West 69th Avenue in Manhattan is hosting its Fall Show and Open House Saturday, October 25, beginning at 9 a.m. Last year’s event drew an estimated 300 people.
The show is a wonderful way to showcase what Hope Ranch clients have learned. Other riders and horses from the community are invited to sign up for various classes. Those interested are welcome to sign up online through a google form. The sign-up link and QR code will be on the Hope Ranch Facebook page. Cost is $10 per class. Classes are open to all ages, levels, and abilities from walk only to advanced riders. A costume class (Halloween theme) will be offered. The show starts at 9 a.m. with English and estimated start time of 10 a.m. for Western classes.
In addition to the show, Jammin’ Jamaican will be there serving both breakfast and lunch. Free horseback rides and horse and cart rides will be offered.
A tack sale also is planned. Hope Ranch is accepting donations of gently used tack and other riding equipment and accessories for the tack sale. Tack being offered includes used saddles, bridles, bits, clothing, riding boots, and a couple sets of jump standards with flower boxes and poles. All proceeds will go towards the Hope Ranch program including scholarship funds for participants and a new adaptive therapy saddle for disabled riders. Tremendous donations were received this past year.
New Hope Ranch merchandise will be available for purchase including shirts (regular and Halloween themed options) and totes.
