The land itself poses a hardship for our summer riding, in that the <br /> • <br /> abundance of low swampy areas nearby provide a large breeding area for <br /> mosquitoes, gnats and other insect pests. This makes outdoor ring work and <br /> riding unbearable at certain times of the year. An indoor arena would be a <br /> welcome sanctuary during particularly humid and buggy days. <br /> The majority of our horses are young stock which really need <br /> consistent, year-round training. This type of regular work is also essential for <br /> the older horses in order to effectively participate in trail rides, showing and <br /> endurance riding. <br /> A unique characteristic of our horses is the fact that they are Missouri <br /> • Fox Trotters, a gaited horse breed. Their smooth-riding flat-foot walk and <br /> foxtrot gaits are best performed on a smooth, level surface. An indoor riding <br /> arena would provide the proper conditions to train them year round. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Edward Soltis/Cynthia Soltis <br />
