WELCOME TO CKRH
Under the guidance of trained teachers, volunteers and medical people, disabilities are challenged and new abilities are created.

The program is operated at the renowned Kentucky Horse Park, which is a perfect setting of one thousand acres of rolling countryside, dotted with hundreds of horses representing over 35 breeds.

CKRH originated in the fall of 1981 and has experienced continued interest and growth. We are a non-profit organization established to provide horseback riding for therapeutic purposes and social and recreational activities.

Our program has proved highly successful in helping people with a wide range of disabilities to develop self-esteem, confidence, coordination and a sense of achievement while learning horsemanship, tack and riding principles.

CKRH is completely dependent upon community support. Funding and volunteer support is provided by numerous individuals as well as various community service-based organizations.
