I realize that it might be more difficult to classify intellectually challenged individuals than physically challenged athletes (or maybe not). I haven’t worked as much with strictly physically handicapped riders, some, but not many. I hope to learn more about IPEC in the near future as I become more involved with NAHRA. Still, there should be some criteria that could be established to
