Chino Valley Equestrian Park Gears up to bring back rodeo
President Cooper Anderson has great things to say about the upcoming plans of the Chino Valley Equestrian Park. With the recent acquisition of stadium lights, they will be able to host cooler night-time events. The park is revamping the entire arena with a couple goals — No. 1 is to bring back the rodeo within two years. Roping organizations and event promoters are being solicited for a second goal to host events each weekend. Currently, the equestrian group is in talks with Extreme Cowboy Association. If all goes well the Chino Valley Equestrian Park will be their home base in Northern Arizona! The Park is located at Old Home Manor — Perkinsville Road East, left at Old Home Manor Drive and a left on Rodeo Drive. Contact: Cvea.az@gmail.com for more information.
