The Paul Frazer Memorial Combined Test and Dressage Competition is dedicated to a former CKRH Board Member who worked to remove physical barriers facing children with special needs. Paul designed the first accessible bus in the Fayette County Public Schools, and his design later served as a model for all accessible buses in Kentucky. As director of maintenance for Fayette County schools, Paul oversaw the construction of ramps, installation of elevators and other structural remodeling to ensure access for every student. This year you will be able to see first-hand the hard work that just a few of our clients have put in to their connection with horses. If you see a rider with a blue saddle pad, feel free to say hi and congratulate them on their accomplishments, many of them at their first horse show! Thank you for supporting Central Kentucky Riding for Hope with our Paul Frazer Memorial Combined Test and Dressage Show and good luck this show season! Registration Opens February 4!
