HENRY
COUNTY SADDLE CLUB 1959 - 2010
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.
