The new indoor arena is outstanding-absolutely breathtaking!
Is the new arena open? I know the outdoor stadium is complete and can expand to hold 30,000 as it will for the World Games.
I believe the Horse Park Foundation has funded new barns - anyone know if those are complete?
Can you tour the new arenas when you buy a ticket to the Horse Park?
The indoor arena is totally done. You should see it. It’s very cool. Tons of space for all kinds of events - not just equestrian.
When is the next horse park event?
