Kim Meeder is the co-founder of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch (CPYR) at the foot of the Cascade Mountains near Bend Oregon. Kim became an orphan at age 9 when both her parents died, but she developed a love for horses while being raised by her grandmother. Out of her tragedy, the seed for Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch was planted. She and her husband, Troy, started Crystal Peaks in 1995, and together they have over 40 years experience working with abused and neglected children and horses.
