The
Idaho Horse Park
in Nampa, Idaho, is 110 acres devoted to horses and their owners and trainers. The facility is
dedicated to equine athletes only, and is not an all-around event center.
The
Idaho
Horse
Park
offers state-of-the-art amenities with stalls for 600 horses, 11 warm water
wash racks, and a modern 120,000 sq. ft. indoor arena with more than 12,000
seats.

The
indoor and outdoor arenas feature first-class competition surfaces, and three
warm-up arenas help everyone compete at their best. A Grand Prix jumping course
and multiple show arenas offer a top-notch venue for English shows, jumpers and
eventers.
For
events using stock, there are 12 holding pens with connecting alleys.
“We
are just better. We offer unparalleled customer service. For example, when a
competitor arrives with their horses at the Park, we greet them (even at
midnight), help them unload, and then bring them ice. We deliver a newspaper to
them every morning, and more ice during the day,” says Katrina Lemmon,
marketing manager of the
Idaho
Horse
Park
. “There is only one boss – the customer.”
A
44-space RV park hosts event participants, and people traveling with horses are
also welcome to stop and stay overnight or longer. If competitors need to
conduct business while at the Park, personal office spaces with wifi and meeting
rooms are available.
When
competitors check in, they receive a “credit card” that is good to use for
every expense at the Park during their stay. — stall shavings, dining at the
gourmet restaurant, after-dinner drinks at the “Stampede Rodeo Club,” or
fresh hay. At checkout, a statement is given which details transactions. This is
a great timesaver for trainers working for multiple owners.
The
Idaho
Horse
Park
is just off Interstate 84 has 24-hour security, and the
Idaho
Equine
Hospital
is on-site.
The
Park strives to be “green,” with recycling at all trash points, a new
efficient air exchange system that keeps air fresh, reduces flies and keeps the
athletes comfortable, and updated compact fluorescent and LED lighting. Manure
is composted and stall shavings are reused as cattle bedding.
Many top-quality horse events are held at the park all year-long. The
park is located in the Idaho Center at 16200 Idaho Center Blvd, Nampa, Idaho
83687. For more information, call 208-442-3335 or visit www.idahohorsepark.com.
