[RC] Complete meeting info and now update too was: Potential Closure of Greensfelder Park (St. Louis, Mo. Area) - Debbie K.Up Date below, I am not sure what the meeting is for, I simply was informing people of what I saw on Ridecamp... For all of you near St. Louis, or those that ride in Greensfelder Equestrian Park in south St. Louis County, we need your support. This park was donated for the purpose of being one of the largest equestrian parks in many states. A few days ago, a special meeting was announced to hear the public's opinion on closing the park to horses. This would effectively eliminate the major riding area for thousands of riders. This park is set up for equestrian camping, and has many tie stalls as well as a wash area and round pen near the full hookup campground. PLEASE consider attending the public meeting this coming THE MEETING IS 9:30 AM Thursday, October 18th AT MUCKERMAN SHELTER in Greensfelder Park Go left on Hencken Rd, down about 100 ft. on your left. and let your voice be heard. If you need directions, please feel free to contact Lucie Hess <appalucie@xxxxxxxxx privately. To allow a site dedicated to and donated specifically for horses be taken away is a travesty at best. Lucie Hess Columbia, Missouri NATRC Region 6 AERC # 65 AERC Central Region OCER member UPDATE just in Here's a post from the CTR list -- concerning the park closure. It's GOOD news. Carla Richardson Colorado First, I love Greensfelder Park. Second, I just hung up with Kent Theiling (County Park Manager) and he said THERE IS NO INTENTION TO CLOSE THE PARK FOR HORSES. Kent informed me they are only closing a portion of the trail for trail improvements. Kent told me the park was donated for the purpose and use by horse enthusiasts. Kent asked me to send out this posting to inform everyone the park will remain open to horses forever. Kent is mystified where thi s incorrect news came from and wants the correct information spread. If anyone has any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Again, the park is NOT closing to horses. Only a portion of one trail for improvements. By the way, the meeting is on Thursday morning and it is with the park director to talk about what needs to be done to the washed out trail area in question. I hope this helps. Thank you to everyone for rallying together on a cause. It is so nice to know that we (horse community) will stand up for our rights if the need arises! Sincerely, Karla (for the cause) M.
