Our annual Scholarship Challenge Ride returns — and this year it moves to December.
The Challenge Ride is our largest rider-powered fundraiser for the Vinceremos Scholarship Fund. Riders head out on a prepared trail through the DuPuis Management Area, following clues along the way, and finish with raffle prizes. Every dollar raised keeps our programs within reach of the families who need them. More than 75% of our participants rely on scholarship assistance.
When: Sunday, December 20, 2026
Ride times: 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
BBQ dinner: 4:00 p.m., $15 per person
Where: DuPuis Management Area, 23500 Southwest Kanner Highway, Canal Point, FL 33438 (about 45 minutes from our farm)
Three ways to take part:
- Ride one of our horses. This option is for Vinceremos clients, volunteers, and staff. Sign up and tell us a few words about what Vinceremos means to you, and we will build you a personal fundraising page to share with family, friends, and your employer. Reach $500 and your spot is secured — you will ride one of our horses on the prepared trail at your assigned ride time. Sign up by December 6 and have your $500 raised by December 13. There are prizes for our top fundraisers.
- Sign up HERE, stop by the office, or text us at (561) 792-9900.
- Bring your own horse. Everyone else is welcome to ride with us this way. Register, give $50, and ride the prepared trail at your own pace within the day’s riding window with your own horse or pony. Look for Scooby Snacks along the trail, then use them to enter the raffle when you return.
- Support a rider. If you cannot join the ride, a donation to the Scholarship Fund goes just as far — it funds scholarships, supports the care of our therapy horses, and keeps our programs running.
