Announcing McCall's Only Equestrian Center at Blackhawk

McCall, Idaho–Valley County’s only equestrian center is now open at the Blackhawk community in McCall. The 40-acre, Blackhawk Equestrian Center currently operates from two recently renovated onsite barns with 13 horses, including two fillies born on May 17th. Construction is complete on a new 150-by-200-foot outdoor riding arena and 50 foot round pen.

Blackhawk will host an equine event-filled weekend for the public on July 8th and 9th to introduce the center to the McCall community and celebrate recent additions. Activities include a free catered barbeque, along with free trail rides and youth riding lessons that can be scheduled by calling (208) 634-6774.

“McCall has always been a spectacular area for horseback riding, but an equestrian center has been a much-needed missing component,” says Rick Luna, CFO of Blackhawk Partners LLC. “All of us at Blackhawk are extremely pleased to see the Equestrian Center come to life. Horse lovers who live in the area should find it a real asset.”

The Blackhawk Equestrian Center is located at the south end of the 1551-acre residential community. Construction on the center’s permanent buildings and other facilities will begin within two years. At completion, the center will consist of an indoor and outdoor arena, including multiple areas to honor western, dressage, reigning and English riding, along with alternative aspects of riding. In addition, there will be a round pen and boarding facilities for Blackhawk residents.

The new arena and round pen will be available to Blackhawk residents, potential buyers, and guests.

Miles of riverside and forested trails exclusively designated for horseback riding will also traverse the Blackhawk property, connecting to hundreds of miles of Forest Service trails just across West Mountain Road. A corresponding trail system on the Blackhawk property will be reserved for hiking and mountain biking.
