IMPORTANT CHANGES AT
THE GA INTERNATIONAL HORSE PARK
The Dixie Cup Spring
Classic and Southeastern Charity Horse Shows are proud to announce important
changes at the GA International Horse Park, Conyers, GA, home of both of
these USEF “A” Rated Horse Shows.
As a result of requests
from horse show exhibitors, all of the stalls in the original five barns
have been updated with the installation of wall to wall STALL MATS. At this
year’s shows, the new mats are being met with rave reviews.
The Park has also built a
new FARRIER AND VETERINARIAN Services Building to add to the safety and
comfort of the horses at the Park. This structure is currently being tested
and should be ready for the Dixie Cup.
A very popular facility,
The Park was one of the big facilities featured in a recent article in the
USEF EQUESTRIAN Magazine. In 2007, the Park hosted 246 events. Of those, 63
were equine events. These events brought nearly three quarters of a million
people to the Park and to the Conyers area. |
