Renovate and Expand the Roger and Ana Ela Youth and Education Center

The Roger and Ana Ela Youth and Education Center is the physical hub and heart of what GMHA is all about.  It is here that knowledge, friendships and horsemanship are shared and where the sense of community develops.  It is here that members can share their experiences and love of equestrian sports after a day or riding, where they participate in celebrations such as the Season’s End Barbecue and Campaign Kick-off. It is here where the board and members hold the Annual Meeting to discuss matters of importance at GMHA. 

Knowledge gained at GMHA reaches beyond participating in clinics, workshops and competitions. Discussing thoughts and ideas from a rocking chair on the porch of the Ela Center builds strong conviction born of shared individual experience.  For children, building friendships, confidence and sharing a laugh with friends helps them to learn and grow.

The Youth and Education Center is named for Roger and Ana Ela, two of GMHA’s treasured members.  The Elas have long been associated with GMHA and horses.

The Renovation and Expansion of the Roger and Ana Ela Youth and Education Center will include the following:

Enable the Center to operate year round as a multi-purpose facility.  Upgrades made to lighting, heating, computer and telephone systems and restroom facilities will greatly enhance our ability to hold educational programs while making the Center more comfortable to relax in.

As a learning center and general meeting place, the Center will be used for seminars and event functions.  It will be available for regional wildlife, riding an conservations groups, as well as the local community to hold retreats, conferences and events—allowing us to continue to serve members and better steward our community.
