The Licking County Equestrian Center opened its doors to boarding in 1990. In 2003, the facility was purchased by Jeff and Vicky Christiansen. Since then, LCEC has seen multiple improvements and expansions, including roof replacement, upgraded indoor lighting, new outdoor arena lighting, additional pasture land, and upgraded (sand) arena footing. In 2009, LCEC became a family affair. The Christiansen's daughter and son-in-law, Chelsea and Justin Francis, now aid in maintenance and management. Their three grandchildren enjoy riding, feeding, and mucking stalls. The Licking County Equestrian Center partners with local 4H clubs who utilize the facilities in the spring for show preparation. |
