Clinton, ON – The Regional Equine & Agricultural Centre of Huron (REACH) staff is pleased to advise that final touches are now being applied to the REACH facility, and they are looking forward to moving into their offices in early May.
The Centre, located in Clinton, Ontario, includes an Olympic-sized indoor arena, warm-up arena, two oversized outdoor show rings, facilities for show stabling and RV parking, and is also home to a full educational facility with classrooms, dorm rooms and a community kitchen.
“Things have moved along quite quickly since our sod turning in July last year,” said Melanie Prosser, REACH’s Director of Program Services, “We’re pleased to say that the arena complex and education facilities are now almost complete. Both the staff and school horses are scheduled to move into the centre in the beginning of May.”
Regarded as the host site for numerous educational and recreational opportunities, Prosser feels that the development of REACH will have a major impact on Ontario’s economy in direct support of the equine, agricultural, and agri-tourism industries. “We have several clinics, conferences, and shows already being planned for this year, including major clinicians, horse breed and sport associations, and the agricultural sector,” said Prosser. “We strongly suggest people contact us directly or visit our website, as we are constantly updating our program schedule with new events from week-to-week.”
The Regional Equine & Agricultural Centre of Huron (REACH) is a non-profit Municipal Corporation functioning as a “motel for education”, offering innovative programming, as well as recreational activities to support the equine, agricultural and other industries.
