The celebration marks the beginning of a construction project of 6,700sf of interior renovations, two additions to the existing structure totaling approximately 4,900sf, and the required site work and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing requirements for a new 9,500sf riding arena and 3,000sf horse barn.
