Central Nebraska's Finest Equine Facility
|
| |
Welcome To The Broken Bow Equine Facility
Nestled on the east edge of Broken Bow is an exceptional equine facility that will rival any in the midwest. Whether you're a visitor to Broken Bow a member of 4H, AQHA, CHAN cutting (to mention just a few) or just love horses this facility is a must see.
This facility is part of the Custer County Fairgrounds, which covers 49 acres, has 22 buildings and is home to one of the largest County Fairs in Nebraska.
The arena was originally built to be part of a Quarter horse racing complex. Horses from all over the country raced there for 18 years, drawing from 400 to 500 horses a weekend. By 1990 the number of horses racing had dropped so much it was no longer feasible to continue the races.
In the early 90's the focus shifted from a racing facility to a resource for all types of horse events. It has been a boon for the community ever since.

Head- thinking critically, solving problems.
Heart- respecting self, others, and the enviornment, communicating.
Hands- preparing for a career serving others.

4-H enables young people to have fun, meet new people, learn new lifeskills, build self confidence, set and achieve goals. This is what it's all about young people learning to win, lose and compete with grace. Respect for God's creatures and the bond of love that connects them!
