Chapter VII

Community and accessibility

Public land should feel public. Affordability and access are written into the operating plan, not added later.

Stoney Point Ranch works only if ordinary families can afford it. Boarding is priced at community rates rather than commercial show-barn rates, with affordability protected as a core operating principle.

Access extends past boarders. The petting zoo, shaded viewing areas, ADA restrooms, and accessible pathways make the ranch a place a family can simply visit, and school field trips bring children who may never otherwise stand next to a horse.

Programs for youth groups are offered in coordination with local schools and nonprofits, with programs for seniors and veterans planned as partnerships develop. Open community days and the annual Day of the Horse are hosted on site.
