The stables in City Park have attracted people for over 75 years. Through a long and illustrious history, the stables have survived in this urban setting. For one family, it has been a 50 year commitment to this sport and the special relationship between people and horses. Fifty years ago, Ben Brupbacher brought his two oldest daughters to ride at the stables. It began a life-long passion for the sport and the stables. Tour the grounds, with Leslie Kramer one of Ben’s daughters, to enjoy the refurbished barns, covered ring and manicured grounds. While touring, you will be treated to a morning viewing of riders practicing from the very beginner to the advanced show rider. A tour of the barns and an introduction to some of the horses in their houses will give you an idea of the personalities of not only the horses but their people. Join us for a view of this urban equestrian life in our own City Park. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suited for the weather. Tour will meet at entrance to Equest Farm on Filmore and last 1.5 hours. Tour size will be limited to 25 people.
