The Valley Water Mill Equestrian Center, located at 4007 N. Farm Road 171 is currently under development. The Equestrian Center is located across the road from the site of the new Valley Water Mill Education Center, a cooperative project of the Watershed Committee of the Ozarks and Springfield-Greene County Park Board.



LOOK FOR THESE ACTIVITIES WHEN THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER OPENS!

*Open Riding for the area’s horse owners! The 18,000 square foot indoor barn as well as the 20,000 square foot outdoor riding ring will be available for public riding for a minimal charge. Hours and fees will be announced at a later date.

*Facilities for horse clinics, workshops, training. Contact us at 833-9673 for details on renting the facilities for horse activities such as these.


WATCH US GROW!

The 20 acre pastureland at the Equestrian Center is being renovated to demonstrate best practices in creating a managed intensive grazing setting for horses. The pastures will developed following a specific process which will be environmentally sound — reducing erosion, excessive nutrient and sediment additions to the South Dry Sac River, and producing a sustainable forage for the horses who will eventually live at the park.

A Riding Academy is planned for the future, providing children the opportunity to learn about horses and participate in riding lessons.
