My Nonprofit Reviews

My kids rode at Challenge for 2yrs, and I volunteered on several occasions. I had wanted to volunteer regularly, but the Ranch Owner is impossible to work with. She has an illl temper and habit of making demeaning comments to kids, parents and volunteers. I spoke to a Board member about this explaining that I couldn’t deal with the Owner’s personal attacks. The Board member was aware of the Owner’s reputation as I wasn’t the 1st to complain. At the time I rationalized that everything else about the Ranch was good for kids. I still volunteered a little and supported fund raisers. Eventually the Owner kicked my kids out of the Ranch over a dispute between she and I when I had the gall to yell back at her during one of her rants. The Owner has a terrible reputation in the horse community for kicking kids out if their parents confront her. Challenge Ranch is a totalitarian regime of bullying and favoritism. I highly recommend against participation in their program in any capacity
