As Winston Churchill said, “There is something about the outside of a horse that’s good for the inside of a man.” Central Kentucky Riding for Hope demonstrates Churchill’s point.

In addition to a wide variety of equine therapeutic activities, CKRH also offers hippotherapy sessions, which are physical, occupational or speech therapy strategies that use equine movement.

In 2010, CKRH held a total of 1,132 therapeutic riding sessions. A total of 176 participants regularly attended riding sessions, and another 93 participants took advantage of weekend opportunities or other extra events.

“It’s wonderful to see the participants looking forward to their sessions,” CKRH Executive Director Pat Kline said.

The non-profit organization is dependent on community support, funded by grants and fundraising events, and is always looking for new volunteers.

True to its motto -- “help unleash the healing power of the horse,” – CKRH and its volunteers have had an especially strong healing power on two riders. These are their stories. t

CKRH is a therapeutic riding facility at the Kentucky Horse Park, offering private and group lessons for individuals with disabilities. Lessons are conducted by instructors, certified by North American Riding for the Handicapped and focus on each rider’s individual needs.

CKRH was established in 1981 by Dr. Peter Bosomworth, former Chancellor of the UK Medical Center, and Somerset horse lover Debbie Marcum.

The first classes began that fall at the Bluegrass Riding Stable at the Kentucky Horse Park with four students.

In 1987, CKRH became a nationally accredited riding center by the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association. A year later, CKRH gained the status of a Premiere Accredited Center by the North American Riding for the Handicapped, making it one of three accredited centers in Kentucky.

More than two years ago, CKRH expanded, opening an indoor riding facility that allows riding sessions to have longer seasons.

Currently, CKRH has 176 regular riders, approximately 250 volunteers, four therapist in physical and occupational therapy, two licensed clinical social workers and one recreational therapist. And, of course, 28 horses and minis.

To expose more people to assisted activities and therapies, CKRH recently partnered with Hospice of the Bluegrass, Veterans Administration Hospital, public schools and adult day programs, the U.S. Pony Club, and has worked with local colleges such as the University of Kentucky, Midway College, Eastern Kentucky University and Asbury University. Because only 15% of CKRH’s revenue comes from student fees, the non-profit organization is mainly funded by grants and fundraising events. Scholarships for therapeutic riding sessions are also offered for qualified participants. t

Martha Calie, a 22-year-old rider from Berea, has been coming for lessons at CKRH since she

was 6 years old.Martha was born with medical problems,

which escalated after a cardiac arrest and a high temperature when she was a year old. Martha is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair.

Being one of the more medically complex riders at CKRH, it was hard for Martha to sit up on a horse when she first started her therapeutic riding lessons.

But with the help of her volunteer team, Martha thrived in the program, and her family soon saw an improvement in Martha’s condition.

“The volunteer team really helped her realize that she was part of a team,” Mary Calie, Martha’s mother, said.

“We really saw her address the need to participate. It wasn’t just the volunteers helping her

to do something. Riding showed her that she had her own responsibilities.”

Martha, an animal lover, has channeled her passion into her own business. When she isn’t riding at CKRH, she is baking animal treats in the kitchen for her own company -- Shoot for the Moon Animal Treats.

Therapy at CKRH has helped her in the kitchen by improving her fine motor skills.

Even the riding equipment she uses has helped with her baking. During her lessons Martha rides with a surcingle, a piece of equipment that fastens around the girth of the horse and has a handle for the rider.

This handle was one of the first tools Martha learned to use. Soon, she was holding on to handles of kitchen tools.

Dog treats are Martha’s specialty, but she

recently created a horse treat called “Galactic Equine Treats,” which are available through Shoot for the Moon’s Facebook page.

When Martha was younger, her parents didn’t think they would see their daughter with a career. For that – and much more – they’re grateful to CKRH.

“I don’t think there is a more perfect place for her,” Mary Calie said. “It’s so important that we know what her interests are – we kept looking for things and we found it.” t

Olivia Miller

Olivia Miller, a 7-year-old first-grader in Lexington who loves being around

animals, was diagnosed with Down syndrome at birth causing other health issues as well. Her mother, Dixie Miller, adopted Olivia when she was 9 months old and started her in therapy at CKRH when she was 4.

Initially, Olivia was intimidated and nervous to start her therapeutic riding sessions. Her CKRH team was patient when working though her anxiety and helped her become comfortable astride a horse.

Within a month of lessons, Olivia was smiling when riding, her posture had improved, and she experienced a big language boom.

“I was very impressed with the team’s patience and ability to work with her anxiety. They worked with her until she was ready,” Dixie said.

Besides riding and horsemanship skills, Olivia also works on letter and color recognition in her therapy sessions. Olivia’s therapy has built her confidence and self-esteem.

Already, Olivia has performed at the World Equestrian

Games, and she one day hopes to ride in the Special Olympics.

“She did a demonstration for CKRH at the World Equestrian Games where the whole family came to watch,” Dixie said. “Everyone is just so proud of her.

“I love that Olivia has something that she’s good at and can feel confident doing.” t
