Moulton Arena
Moulton Arena will be Closed forRenovation January 6-24th
The Equestrian Committee and Trails Committee have evaluated the Moulton Arena’s functionality and developed a renovation plan to modernize the arena and improve its functionality.  The current arena is an irregular shape and its outdated racing rails reduce the usable surface of the arena.  A plan has been developed to demo the existing railings and replace the single arena with a 50 foot diameter round pen for training and exercise separate from the arena.  Adjacent to the round pen we will construct a 170 foot by 80 foot arena with modular railings.  This project will provide an enhanced equestrian experience at Moulton Park in support of the Nellie Gail Ranch equestrian heritage.
 
Annual Diaper Drive
Consider donating today to support families in need. Donation boxes are conveniently located in both the Association clubhouse entrance and the Equestrian center clubhouse, making it easy for all residents to contribute. Thank you for your generosity!
