Arkansas equestrian associations rent Facilities in other states such as Texas and Oklahoma to hold their equestrian events. Arkansas needs a Horse Show Facility to keep Arkansas Equine Residents in Arkansas. The present Facilities in Arkansas are limited in their capacity. An Arkansas state of the art Facility that can handle four different equestrian events at the same time is what Is needed to keep Arkansas residents and draw competitors from out of state. As of right now Arkansas is losing the economic impact that those shows bring to the state.
When the Arkansas Equestrian Center is complete the economic impact to Arkansas will be over $500, 000,000 per year. The Facilities will attract people to live in Arkansas with their horses . The plans are to have 110 home lots for equestrians and non-equestrians. That will impact the economy in Arkansas while keeping that country lifestyle
