All Around Cowgirl Team Challenge
The All Around Cowgirl Team Challenge is hosted by Von Holten Ranch.
Von Holten Ranch is a century farm in Mora, Missouri, where we host multiple equine, trail riding, and homesteading events. We have a large social media following, an active email audience, and four businesses.
Schedule a Meeting with Brandy Von HoltenThis event is open to a maximum of 25 teams and each team consists of two, three, or four cowgirls. There are eight elements of the competition, four equine events and four non-equine events. For example, in 2026, the equine events were ranch horsemanship, obstacles, stationary mounted archery, and barrel racing. The non-equine events were campfire cooking, a multiple choice knowledge test, rifle shooting, and trailer backing. This event promotes community and girl power.
One of the perks of hosting this event it is a draw of new clients to Von Holten Ranch. Once the clients know we are here, they become clients of all of our different businesses and events. At our last competition we had females from ages 12 to 73 and all walks of life. We give out ribbons, prizes, and buckles for the top two teams. This year we obtained permission to put the wonder woman logo on our ribbons.

Bubble Gum Giveaway
At Von Holten Ranch, we use an antique bubblegum machine for icebreakers and giveaways. It’s the chance of winning that makes it fun!
This is a great low-cost way to get exposure for your products because each product is explained before we start having individuals come up. Each person then has a photo taken with their item, which is posted on social media.
The bubblegum machine is incorporated into all Von Holten Ranch events, such as Chix in the Sticks, SMART CHIX, Country Tough Trail Versatility, United States Mounted Archery, and clinics.
