The
Henry County Saddle Club grounds were developed with the intent of
providing a quality facility for
Henry
County
youth to show their horses
and ponies. The development of the grounds began in 1960 with the
construction of a 150x300 outdoor show ring, a two-story wooden
entry booth and some tie stalls. Additions since that time have
included an indoor arena (1983), a 76-stall barn(1991), and the John
Jordan Show arena, a 130x210 covered facility (1995). Our facility
now offers 202 permanent stalls and the capacity for approximately
375 additional temporary stalls for larger shows. Other features
now available include sprinkler systems for the show rings, multiple
horse wash racks, a full menu concession stand, make-up arenas, a
round pen, and restroom/shower facilities. Plenty of water and
electric hook-ups are available are camping in a beautiful County
park.
The
funds that are generated by the Henry County Saddle Club facility
are primarily used for upkeep and improvements to the grounds. This
attention to grounds maintenance and our spirit of volunteerism have
made
New Castle
,
Indiana
one of the primary stops in
the
Midwest
for showing your horse.
We want to thank all of our
breed organizations for their past and present support of our show
grounds. We believe we have a beautiful place to show your horse.
As always, we are taking steps for improving our grounds and are
looking forward to future plans.
We have had some changes
in our schedule from the 2007 year. With these changes, we have
a few more weekends available and
are looking forward to hosting some new breed or open shows.
