We are trying to obtain a Property for $2.5 million with 200+ acres with 90% wooded. The owners are willing to work with us but need a sizable down payment and a plan of payment schedule as we apply for grants. Basically, this is the place where we want to call home for our organization. We are looking at $5.5 Million total with 30+ jobs over 3 yrs.

Our nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization has been volunteer since 2003. This property will be the place people will not want to leave and will bring people back frequently and become a tourist attraction, which will help our economy and protect the Wildlife and the land from being developed.

We have spoken just with The Dime Bank, Pike County DCED, DCNR in Harrisburg, and locally. We would like to apply for Growing Greener, PA Conservation Works Energy Conservation Funding, Pike County Bonding Program, received approval of our project from the township, and any other possible opportunities to acquire this property before it is bought by a developer. We can’t waste any more time. We need your help and support in obtaining grants and assistance with fundraising.

We need help obtaining RACP Grant, The Gaming Commission Grant (deadline is coming up). This incredible property would be ECO Friendly, Recycle, solar, wind, composting.

This recreation facility will be horse oriented and we would be able to hire people that desperately need jobs. This project would be ADA accessible with playgrounds, lodge to eat and sleep, picnic tables, park benches, dirt road widening, promoting volunteerism, wetland protection, petting area, walking trail/wildlife trails (with educational programs), playgrounds, horseback riding (public too), trail rides, therapeutic riding for the special needs as well as programs for troubled, underprivileged overweight, blind, etc children and youth, education of history of cowboys, Indians and how the horses made history, rescue horses, tourism, special events, camps, weddings, clinics, games for children that will be team building skills, learning how to deal with others who are not like you, leadership and life skills, swimming etc. This will be great for several different surrounding counties to have a place to go for a break away from the daily life for 1 day or a week.

Our plans are to expand the road in (now 1 car wide) as you enter the property. On the left side build a lodge to eat and sleep (as well as in the main house) on the right side of the road would be the barn with indoor arena and pasture. This is the ONLY cleared part of the property that is not wooded until you get to the main house. (which is surrounded by trees) It has two septic systems, a small caretaker’s house that would be used as a nurses station.(at the beginning of the property)Some trails are very well marked now and some we would want to make some new ones. Please help us with this project off the ground. We need your support in obtaining funding and fundraising so we can bring new visitors to this area.

Please join us in helping our economy, preserving our land and forests, educate our children and youth and provide a safe haven for ALL of our families.Thank youBeverly Peffer, PresidentThe Pocono Equestrian Center
