This could become a very big deal if it moves forward

Council considers lease for large equestrian facility
Planned 80-acre site would be the largest in central Arizona

Sergio Martinez, the director of design services at Scottsdale-based Agate, Inc., has built major equestrian centers around the world and is one of the foremost designers of such facilities in the United States.

Martinez, who has built about 300 equestrian facilities around the world in his 40-year career, has drawn up a detailed plan for the 80 acres that includes three arenas and room for future expansion. Some of his facilities include Westworld, Horseshoe Park in Queen Creek, and Rawhide in Chandler.

Each of the people interviewed said that the events would not be limited to horses, but that a facility such as what they are proposing could be home to car shows, boat shows, dog shows, and outdoor concerts.

Cuka said Martinez does have a vested interest in this project and that's why he's donating his time and expertise. He owns a house in Williamson Valley and has daughters who love to ride horses and are looking for a venue in the area to compete at.
