Central Kentucky Riding for Hope

The 🏇Breeders' Cup🏇🏻 will be here before you know it, and it is not too late to see it in style!

Two tickets to the sold-out Clubhouse Lawn Chalet have been generously donated to Central Kentucky Riding for Hope, with 100% of the funds raised benefiting our programming. You will be able to bid online (https://onecau.se/_p4n881) until Friday, October 16th at Noon.

Set on the beautiful Keeneland Clubhouse Lawn, the exclusive Club Lawn Chalet delivers an intimate hospitality environment just steps from the rail. From this coveted stretch-run position, guests watch the field drive toward the finish in one of the most desirable settings on property.

This chalet offers a climate-controlled interior, and hospitality includes a Michelin-starred chef-curated gourmet luncheon buffet, dedicated cocktail service, premium private bar access, and a complimentary ch*****ne welcome toast upon arrival.

With private mutuels, self-serve wagering, video board visibility, and direct access to the rail, the Club Lawn Chalet provides a polished two-day hospitality package built for premium access and elevated hosting.

Please Note: Clubhouse dress code applies.

We had the great pleasure of hosting a PATH Intl. Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning Workshop this week at our facility. Individuals from all over the country came to CKRH to learn the best practices for working with mental health providers and educators to incorporate our equine partners in treatment plans, personal growth journeys, and team building.
This workshop is a stepping stone in these individuals becoming PATH-certified ESMHLs, and we were thrilled to be a part of their journey. Working together, we are able to show all the amazing ways equine partners are healing people from the inside out.
