Facilities

About the Facility

The facility has 2 large covered areas, one is a riding arena for shows. The other is a covered horse barn, which is available for horse boarding as needed. See Jason Leblanc our facility manager to get more information about boarding horses. The Facility is open during most events, such as 4-H shows, SLTSA, Barrel Racing, and RSNC for the public to sit and watch the events. There is a fenced in children's play area with a large play set for children to enjoy during events. We have several different events through the year for the public to participate in Dog Shows, Riding Events, 4-H live stock shows, and an annual fair is hosted here.
