Central Ky Riding for Hope is an equine therapeutic activities facility serving a diverse population with disabilities. We have 30 acres with 11 paddocks with 4 board fencing in need of maintenance. In preparation for painting of the fence, we need to scrape the old cracked and peeling paint off. The fence is scheduled to be painted in 30 days. This is a great opportunity to help a non-profit and get a suntan while doing so! Please contact Vickie at 859-231-7066 or volunteers@ckrh.org if you and your friends, family, church group, fraternity, sorority, business, etc would like to help. we can accommodate your schedule anytime Mon-Sunday between 9am - 7pm for however many hours your are available. Very flexible.

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.
