One of our goals for this blog is to educated readers about the local organization and events for equestrians. We hope to be able to focus on them individually and give everyone a good idea of what it's really like. Until we have a chance to write about everything that is going on in Polk County (and there's a lot going on!), we thought that it would be best to go ahead and give a summary of the main facilities, clubs and organizations in the area. Please click on the title of anything that you would like to learn more about, it will take you directly to that organization's website. Happy exploring!
