It all started when…

in the basement of the New Castle Post Office in 1959 with a group of 4H Horse & Pony parents who wanted to improve the safety and quality of the 4H Horse Shows.  They had been showing in a rope arena behind the cattle barns.  The group donated their own funds and financed their homes to begin the project building the outdoor arena and some tie stalls.  Over the years, the saddle club began having breed shows to bring in revenue to improve and grow the facility without the use of county tax dollars.  Their vision and the many leaders over the years since then, have made Henry County Saddle Club one of the best show facilities in the Midwest.  The continuous improvements and care is made possible by Food and Beverage Tax Grants and through the Henry County Community Foundation.   We applaud our present and past board and members for their continued vision in providing a high quality facility with many shows and educational opportunities at no cost to Henry County Saddle Club and 4H Horse & Pony Youth. 

In 2023, we have added 27 new stalls in Barn A, updated arena footing, rebuilt the outdoor makeup arena and added a new 60’x120’ indoor makeup arena for Jordan Arena that will have a covered connection in the future.

Henry County Saddle Club is a 501c4 not for profit facility.

We continue to improve our facility and work with our community to make your visit here memorable.
