With winter weather set to continue in the forecast, CKRH would like to remind our community of our weather‑related lesson cancellation policy. When Fayette County Public Schools close due to inclement weather, CKRH lessons are canceled as well. This guideline helps us make consistent, safety‑focused decisions for our riders, volunteers, horses, and staff.

If a weather related cancelation occurs our team will contact volunteers and participants directly. While we never enjoy pausing lessons, safety remains our top priority. We appreciate your understanding and hope everyone stays warm and safe during any upcoming cold snaps.

01/28/2026

We can't wait for next week! Winter session is set to start and our whole team is excited to have all our riders back here for lessons. Get ready for fun filled lessons both in the saddle and on the ground. Stay tuned!

When you’re holding the food dish like it’s your job… because it is, well, Hutch thinks that is his job anyway. 😄🍽️

Huge shout‑out to , our trusted partner who provides all our grain for our horses. Thanks to them, every meal is nutritious, balanced, and horse‑approved!

We’re so grateful for partners who care for our horses as much as we do. 💚

P. S. Out of all our horses here, the thoroughbreds always make sure they are first to the gate for breakfast. , it must be a thoroughbred thing.

Did you know that horses can help us heal emotionally and mentally? 🐴✨

Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a powerful, experiential approach that utilizes the unique connection between humans and horses to support mental health and personal growth.

Why horses?
✔ They mirror our emotions, helping us gain insight.
✔ They foster trust, communication, and confidence.
✔ They create a safe, non-judgmental space for healing.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or simply seeking a deeper sense of peace, EAP offers a transformative path. EAP creates space for reflection, growth, and emotional breakthroughs that can be hard to reach in a traditional office setting. This is one of the many ways we see horses helping heal people at CKRH.

Our Annual Fund campaign is closing soon, and we’re getting so close to the finish line. We’re just $35,000 away from reaching our goal — and with your support, we know we can get there.

Each year, CKRH provides over 800 lessons that impact more than 400 participants. Thanks to donor generosity, we’re able to reduce the cost of a lesson from $110 to just $35, ensuring that financial barriers never stand between a rider and the services they need.

These lessons are more than time in the saddle. They build strength, balance, confidence, and connection. For many participants, they’re a source of empowerment and possibility — moments that truly change lives.

We invite you to help us finish strong. A gift of $35 covers the cost of one lesson for a rider.
