Divide: Woodland Park Saddle Club ( April 8th)
An equestrian club established in 1947 and recently displaced from its historic home is negotiating new digs in Divide, according to Kyle Fenner, Executive Director of the Woodland Park Saddle Club. Fenner's presentation of the plan to members of the Divide Chamber of Commerce last week included a rendering of the new clubhouse, and outlining the clubs long range plans, which include a multi-use arena, increased community partnership and a promise to keep the club "undefined" in its potential. But it will take time, since ground breaking on the 40 acre facility could be a year out.
