The sports and recreation industry is a major driver of economic growth and community development in the United States. From enhancing physical wellbeing to stimulating mental growth, leisure pursuits play a vital role in communities everywhere. For children in particular, these activities provide not just an outlet for energy, but also a place to learn crucial life skills such as teamwork, responsibility, and the value of working hard.
The potential for these kinds of facilities makes them especially potent for investment and development. The equestrian industry in particular embodies these dynamics. Horseback riding offers a multifaceted experience that is both challenging and rewarding. Each year, an estimated 30 million people ride horses in the United States. And this has a major impact on the sports world as a whole—according to a 2017 study by the American Horse Council, the industry as a whole contributes more than $120 billion to the US economy annually.
This equestrian center, nestled in a bustling community in the southwest, is perfectly situated to make use of these dynamics. In business for more than 20 years, it offers in-demand lessons and shows in all major horseback riding disciplines. It owns and operates several barns, covered and open-air arenas, an air-conditioned office space, and 20 acres of land for horses to pasture or for offsite trail riding. The owner is interested in selling both the land and the included improvements in order to pursue new opportunities. Currently, the center features a wide array of full-time and part-time staff—including instructors, barn hands, and supervisors—who will continue the smooth operation of all programs after the purchase. This is an incredible opportunity to become a fixture in a bustling community.
