Since 2001, the Idaho Horse Park Foundation, Inc. has been a key partner in the development and ongoing success of the Ford Idaho Horse Park in Nampa, Idaho.

 

The Idaho Horse Park Foundation’s mission statement is to preserve and protect Idaho’s western heritage by developing a world class equestrian facility with the continuing goal of expanding, maintaining and procuring top-notch equestrian events.

 

The Ford Idaho Horse Park hosts up to 28 national and regional horse shows that generate $27+ Million tourism dollars to the local Treasure Valley business community each year. The Ford Idaho Horse Park also hosts the Snake River Stampede Rodeo, which is a top PRCA event that generates additional revenue and national acclaim for our community. Horse show participants arrive from all over the United States and Canada. They spend significant dollars on hotels, food, entertainment, clothing, fuel, vehicle maintenance, etc.  This is direct revenue to our community and local businesses.

 

The Foundation has had much success and been a major factor in the development of the horse park facility thus far.  We do this through fundraising efforts, such as our bi-annual Equus & Overture Gala slated for October 18, 2024, the sale of arena floor tiles with brand, business or personal information and private donations.  We are a 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax deductible.
