Equestrians come from all over the country to participate in events held here at this facility. It is my hopes this facility remains open for Equestrians in all fields of events. Closing this facility would have a huge negative impact on the horse industry, not only for the city and county but on a state level as well. The idea to turn this property into parking lots or a golf course would be a waste of what is all ready built here. Perhaps, instead what could be considered is adding more events, maintaining and refurbishing the grounds & buildings and opening a venue for larger state competitions, encouraging both in state and out of state competitors to come to this city. Adding Rv pads with electric and water hook-ups for over nighter's passing through and those staying all week or weekends for competitions would add revenue to help keep this Equestrian park open and operational, not to mention it would help grow the local economy. People have to eat and they love to shop. People traveling through with horses often need some place to rest over night and some place for their horses to get off the trailer and rest also. Please consider adding to this park as an Equestrian facility, rather than tearing it down for another golf course or parking lot. Thank you for your consideration.
