The Colorado Horse Park (CHP) in Parker, Colorado, was established by Helen Krieble in 1992. The 148-acre property includes 11 competition arenas, 100 boarding stalls, an RV Park, two covered arenas, 300 permanent stalls, and more than 1,000 portable stalls. Krieble hosts more than 40 events each year, including hunter/jumper, eventing and dressage competitions.
The deal also includes the purchase of an additional 47 acres, which abut the CHP, and are zoned as residential.
