The day was perfect. The red carpet was out and 500 people gathered to learn more about this exceptional project. We had many equestrian demonstrations from dressage musical freestyles, to World Championship Reiners, to the famous Gypsy Vanners, to hunter/jumpers to four-in hand driving by the World Silver medalist Chester Weber.

The day went off without a hitch. The EQSV team worked hard on this event (starting back in June) to market, invite, coordinate, create the buzz, and then actually be on hand to serve as Welcome Ambassadors. Michele, Kisti and Lindsey rode horses and welcomed everyone as they came in the community. Gary and Michael were on hand to answer questions about the property, and to keep on eye on the Olympic Medals David and Karen O'Connor brought for display. Alex worked her magic by being ring steward and Ambassador to all the demo riders. Shelley performed her musical freestyle. Mandy, Deb and Deena raced around caring for all the horses. I myself attended to David & Karen O'Connor by making sure they were not mobbed by folks who lined up for autographs.

We were very pleased by everyone's reaction.  Everyone I spoke to said "they have never seen anything like this before." And the demo riders and vendors said "we have never been treated so well before... thank you so much."

Folks lined up with the developer to tour lots for sale. Many more requested information and asked to be placed on our mailing list.

Now full turn key management is in place, the facilities are open for business, and we move into the next phase. Onwards and upwards to launching the second O'Connor Signature.

Come Experience the O'Connor Difference!
