Our mission is to ...
PROMOTE SHARED INTERESTS
The members of the Durango Regional Horse Coalition share the
common goal of promoting equestrian and agricultural interests in
southwest Colorado.
We are committed to
creating a regional facility to serve the residents of the greater
Durango area and draw participants from other parts of the West and
the nation.
We envision a multi-use
community facility available throughout the year, a gathering place
for a wide variety of purposes:
-
Equestrian events
with local, regional or national sponsorship.
-
Youth activities
and boarding for 4-H groups, drill teams, Junior Rodeo.
-
County Fair and CSU
Extension programs.
-
Therapeutic riding
programs.
-
Clinics by local
and national experts.
-
Local use for
training and schooling.
-
Dog obedience and
agility trials; livestock and tractor shows; other auctions and
sales.
-
General interest
events and seminars; meeting room; banquet facility.
BENEFIT OUR
COMMUNITY
The value of this
all-weather, multi-purpose regional facility will extend far beyond
the livestock industries.
The facility will:
-
Bring increased
income to direct markets (feed, bedding and tack stores, etc.).
-
Benefit the
hospitality and tourism industries.
-
Protect area income
stream from seasonal fluctuations.
-
Improve local tax
revenues.
-
Enhance the quality
of life for all of us.
PRESERVE OUR
HERITAGE
For more than 150 years
people in our area have taken pride in strong pioneer and ranching
roots. We want our region to keep its special western flavor. Our
Regional Equestrian and Livestock Facility will provide opportunities
to carry that heritage forward for the enjoyment of future
generations. |
