Horse Park Facilities

As a show and competition venue, the Horse Park will accommodate one or more small to moderate sized events at a time, or a large event. This would include, for example, regional Arabian and Quarter Horse shows, the North American Young Riders’ program and World Cup competitions, and much more. The overall site will be large enough to accommodate 4 hunter/jumper courses or 6 standard dressage arenas.

The 112 acres being donated by Suncadia are depicted by the solid boundary line around the parcel at the southern/bottom edge of the map. (It looks a bit like a paddock boot with a spur - toe on the left, heel on the right. The layout and structures were drawn by Suncadia's design planner and are simply for illustration purposes). The dotted lines represent trails connecting the Horse Park site to other trails and riding areas.  The solid boundary to the west/left represents roughly 75 acres in a conservation area which the Horse Park will be able to use several times during the season for the endurance phases of eventing and combined driving competitions.

Once the Horse Park is built out, facilities will include:

• a 200’x 300’ indoor arena with seating for more than 1000

• several outdoor arenas

• warm-up areas

• a large open, flat, multi-use field

• 400 permanent stalls

• livestock holding areas

• cross-country eventing and combined driving courses on adjacent 75 acres

• connections to the Coal Mine Trail and John Wayne Trail systems

• RV and trailer parking with pull through and hook-ups

• and much more!

The Horse Park already has connections to roads, water, sewer and electricity. The facilities will be constructed in phases to control costs and better match capacity to increasing levels of utilization.

Architectural and landscape development will conform with the Cascade mountain style characterized by sloping roofs, generous overhangs, and use of wood, stone and heavy timber.
