About Us

In 2006, a dream became a reality when Ken Scroggs and his 10-year-old daughter, Kassidy, opened the doors to Hope Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center in Manhattan, Kansas. The program started in a rented facility but has grown into a flourishing program in a 30,000 sq. ft. indoor arena on 35 acres in Riley County, Kansas

In August of 2018, Hope Ranch, Inc. purchased the Daisy Hindman Girl Scout Camp in Topeka, Kansas.  Mission Creek Camp & Retreat Center had its first summer camp season in 2019, and Hope Ranch Therapeutic Riding Center – Topeka opened in the Spring of 2020.

Our Mission

Our Facility

Hope Ranch Therapuetic Riding Center sits on 35 acres just 4 miles West of Manhattan. What was once just empty land, now holds a 30,000 sqft indoor arena with 18 stalls, an office, lobby, bathroom, two tack rooms, and a locker room.
