50' Round Pen

There is nothing better than a round pen for a horse on it's toes. Help us make it happen.

Rubber Mats for Remaining 4 Barns

The 80 stalls matted in 2019 have been terrific for horses, owners and Park staff. We want to do the remaining 80 gravel stalls for next season.

Funds pay to purchase and ship mats, take down barns, remove old gravel beds, level and compact 8” new base, lay mats and rebuild barns.


(Est. cost $24,000)

Cross Country Jump Construction

Off with the old, on with new jump designs and obstacle options. Many of our jumps have been around for awhile or longer! Time to update our look and ask new questions.


Build new cross country jumps and options for Starter through Intermediate levels.

(Est. cost $12,500)

RV Hook-ups

Who doesn’t want to see what they’re cooking and sleep comfortably? The demand for hook-ups just keeps growing and we want to accommodate.


These funds will add 4 double pedestals in the parking area south of the barns to accommodate 8 more hookups.

(Est. cost $9,750)

Rail Trolley

Think how easy it would be to set a course by driving around a trailer with rails of the same type stored together and at heights that are easy to manage!

A multi-level rail trolley will do all that plus store rails off wet ground where air can circulate to dry the wood and prevent rotting.

(Est. cost $4,500)

Wooden Rails and Stadium Jumps

Most of the Park's schooling jumps are second hand and showing their age. Help us upgrade clinic, camp and everyday course materials with “wind-resistent” wooden jumps.

Add 8+ new vertical and oxer painted theme jumps with fill. Also purchase 12 ft long, natural rails that will be painted white and can be used for many purposes (working equitation, dressage and cavaletti, trail obstacles, jumps of various kinds, etc.) which will save wear and damage to more expensive multi-color painted jump rails.


(Est. cost $9,400)

Sand for Arena West

One of the Park’s oldest arenas needs some immediate TLC after 11 years of wear and tear from horses, equipment and weather.


Level, roll and compact current material and bring in 3”of new sand to provide loft, a softer footfall and less need for frequent grooming.

Est. cost $25,000)

Sand_Small-1

 

Portable Bleacher Seating

Sure you can bring a chair along or stand, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a firm seat waiting for you at ringside?


Add two aluminum portable bleacher sections that each seat 70 people and can be moved to desired locations around the arenas.

(Est. cost $8,000)
