Welcome to the Commons Equestrian Association Web site!
Dedicated to preserving a horse-friendly environment for the residents of The Commons.The Commons Equestrian Association was formed by a group of community residents that identified a serious need to work toward providing a safe and exciting trail system with a primary use of horseback riding. Together with the HOA, they have worked for the past two years to catalogue existing trails, document where improvements are necessary and prioritize the repairs. Further, they have organized work groups that have significantly improved trail conditions. They continue to evaluate and repair the trails through time and remain dedicated toward their goal of providing an outstanding riding experience for the CEA and others who use our trails. The CEA has expanded over the course of the past two years and in addition to the emphasis placed on trails, also provides educational opportunities for members. Over the past year clinics have been held on subjects such as maintaining healthy grazing conditions in your pasture, horse training, horsemanship and other pertinent and timely topics. Fun is also a priority of the CEA. They plan and organize numerous activities through the year such as Play Days, Christmas Parade, Beach Ride, and theme oriented trail rides such as the recently held Mardi Gras ride which ended in a delicious gumbo fest. These events are held frequently throughout the year. The CEA currently has a membership in excess of 50 families and growing. Membership dues are collected annually and the funds are designated to be used for a variety of purposes including supporting our local 4H group and a Commons based Special Olympics Equestrian team. As the organization grows, we will be evaluating additional community needs related to horses and will look toward providing funds and manpower to provide future facilities.
