State-Of-The-Art
Training Facility
Under Construction
Drivers on Collinsville Road
in Green Creek needn't scratch
their heads anymore as they
negotiate the big curve just
before Higliway 14. No, it's not
a dirt bike track or an airplane
hangar under construction in the
former hay field.
It's Carlo and Alice Vittorini's
answer to the need for a state-
of-the-art equestrian training
facility in the area.
And state-of-the-art it will

23,000 sq. ft. indoor riding

training facility.

yellow pine boards in the roof

arena are what's been attracting

past few weeks. Besides being
curious about the arena itself,
area residents seem most per
plexed by the double row of
fencing surrounding the prop

create defined trails within the
fifty acre tract. According to

way of ensuring the safety of
the horses with two highways
