Lamplight Equestrian Center Inspires Design Ideas for The Texas Horse Park

Bock has much to keep her in Texas, including her role as leader of the effort to create a Texas Horse Park that would be part of the city of Dallas’s Trinity River Project, located on about 800 acres of forest land. If all goes as planned, the Texas Horse Park will open its doors in the fall of 2009 and it’ll have everything one can imagine – covered rings, stables, grooms quarters, camper hook-ups and enough rings to suit the needs of every sort of equestrian discipline. To ensure that all are accommodated, Bock has been meeting with equestrian groups representing the various disciplines and breeds.

But it’s not just the horse community to whom she’s reaching out in the quest to create a super horse park. “Our goal is to make this a park that attracts everyone and especially families. We want people to come here on a Sunday afternoon and bring the family and enjoy the equestrian park,” Bock said.

Coming to Lamplight gave Bock not only the chance to compete, but also the chance to check out the Lamplight Equestrian Center and get design ideas. She and the rest of the Texas contingent agree that Lamplight is an excellent model of what an equestrian park can be.
