A new park is coming to Oklahoma City near Stockyards City and will be called the Oklahoma River Horse Park. Designs were unveiled September 29, along with a staking ceremony to celebrate.

With over 1,900 stalls in Santa Anita’s stable area, well over 1,000 HD video cameras have been installed in order to closely monitor human and equine traffic in and out of individual stalls and barns. The video footage from each camera is stored and available for detailed subsequent review to ensure full transparency in the barn area.

“Many horses are suffering in these conditions. Whether it is providing products that can support their recovery, donating hay to help feed them, or supporting the veterinary organizations working tirelessly to give them care, there are plenty of ways to pitch in and support relief. We encourage fellow horse lovers to consider the ongoing efforts in Louisiana, and make a donation where they are able.”

“The recreational horse industry contributes $32 billion a year to the economy and supports nearly 435,000 jobs nationwide,” said American Horse Council President Julie Broadway. “The industry is dependent on access to public lands and well maintained trails and the current Forest Service trail maintenance backlog is a serious threat to equestrians and all recreational users’ ability to enjoy our Nation’s Forests.
