The 287th Annual Paul Frazer Memorial Horse Show to benefit Central Kentucky Riding for Hope. CKRH is a 37-year-old nonprofit organization at the KY Horse Park that is dedicated to enriching the community by improving the quality of life and the health of children and adults with special physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs through therapeutic activities using the horse.
This volunteer opportunity will be FUN! No horse experience necessary, there are many opportunities in hospitality, set up courses, hang sponsor signs, run scores to judges, and so much more.

Mission Statement
CKRH's purpose is to enrich the lives of disabled individuals, children and adults, through therapeutic activities involving the horse. CKRH works with physical, mental, emotional and developmental challenges with clients over 4 years of age.
Description
Central Kentucky Riding for Hope provides both mounted and non-mounted Equine Assisted Activites. Therapeutic Riding and Hippotherapy are just two of the programs offered. CKRH partners with many Lexington area organizations including Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation, The Veterens Administration as well as Hospice of the Bluegrass and many local schools. Whether mounted or non-mounted, each participant interacts with a trusted, accepting horse and is supported by dedicated volunteers, experienced instructors and therapists. Why the horse? The horse's strength, warmth, soothing rhythm and three-dimensional movement pattern provides healthy exercise while improving circulation and muscle tone. The responsibility associated with horsemanship and social interactions within the program benefit our participants physically, mentally, and emotionally by raising self-confidence and encouraging independence through goal attainment.
