Develop Support Facilities
Develop facilities that will support, facilitate and fund our overall mission and benefit the community.
The AMF will work and partner with local equestrian and recreational organizations (Georgetown Divide Recreation District, El Dorado Hills Equestrian Trails Foundation, Divide Horsemen’s Association, Cool/Pilot Hill Advisory Committee), governmental agencies (i.e. BLM, NRCS, USDA, etc.), and nearby 2- and 4-year educational institutions to create, develop, and facilitate a regional equestrian facility, a sustainable working farm and environmental center, an institute for advanced learning (in training, leadership, equine assisted psychotherapy, and team-building), and overnight lodging and dining facilities.
Through these facilities, the AMF will promote our communities’ agricultural and rural heritage and resources, provide facilities for historical, agricultural and equine education, promote tourism, create jobs in the community, and support, facilitate and fund our overall mission.
The AMF’s regional equestrian facility will include covered and outdoor spectator arenas; warm-up and training arenas; offices, classrooms and instructional areas (for clinics, college classes, equine-assisted psychotherapy, training and more); livestock facilities; horse barns; overnight camping facilities (for multi-day events); dining establishments; retail venues; and parking for the large events.
The AMF’s equestrian facilities will attract horse owners to recreate and enjoy the facilities in a community fashion. Events such as clinics, shows, competitive trail rides, Future Farmers of America (FFA) competitions and high school rodeo events can be held in this facility. Our overnight horse accommodations will be very comfortable for both the horses and their owners, encouraging multiple visits per year to our facility. Kiosks will provide detailed trail information about trails available on National Forest, BLM, and State Park lands throughout El Dorado and Placer Counties.Back to Mission & Goals
