Introducing the United States Military Academy Morgan Farm Arena Indoor Equestrian Facility West Point, New York West Point Association of Graduates History In 1846, West Point constructed the largest indoor arena in the world at the time (now Thayer Hall), representing West Point’s commitment to and emphasis on equestrian training. From this training developed many Olympic riders. In all, 40 West Point graduates have gone on to become Olympic riders—not to mention those who competed in polo or pentathlon, like General George S. Patton. Patton competed in the Olympics’ first modern pentathlon in 1912. In this event, Patton put to use the skills learned at West Point and received a perfect score in the horse riding competition, placing fifth overall. Riding is truly an integral part of West Point’s history, and although it is no longer part of the cadet curriculum and the indoor facility is long gone, the strong bond between West Point and the horse endures. Today’s West Point Equestrian Team is a nationally competitive team, competing in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, which boasts over 400 colleges and nearly 8,000 riders nationwide. West Point riders have consistently placed in championship positions at the regional and national levels. Site The team currently possesses excellent outdoor riding arenas and stable facilities at the Morgan Farm Equestrian Complex. However, unfortunately, these riding facilities do not provide protection from inclement weather and seasonal changes, making it impossible to ensure consistent year-round training. The team is therefore hindered by a significant loss of practice time each year when compared with that of their competitors. “The equestrian team has superb outdoor training facilities, which has allowed them to achieve the level of success they’ve had so far,” says Coach Peter Cashman. “The team is at a point where it needs to be able to have consistent, year-round training in order to achieve the next level of success.” The West Point Association of Graduates is seeking funding to build the Morgan Farm Indoor Equestrian Facility, a new indoor riding facility that will provide needed space for the Equestrian Team, allow for year-round training, and be accessible to the entire West Point community. West Point Association of Graduates Morgan Farm Arena The West Point Association of Graduates of the United States Military Academy is creating a premier indoor riding arena to provide an outlet for showcasing equestrian events. This equestrian center will serve as a traditional training and boarding facility, for both novice and experienced riders, as well the heart of the indoor equestrian events. West Point Association of Graduates Facility This exclusive, custom-built 30,500 square foot equestrian facility will feature a massive 17,500 square foot Storage indoor riding area with a dust-free, low- Arena maintenance riding surface on top of 1,850 square feet of jump and apparatus storage space.

The stable will feature three wash stalls, two tack rooms, and a feed storage room. Access to the stables has been designed for ease of maintenance, with straight access routes and large doorways. The facility will take advantage of modern lighting features and designs to reduce energy consumption in comparison to traditional lighting options. West Point Association of Graduates Legacy The impact of the facility will extend beyond the team’s 20 riders to the entire West Point community: from providing year-round riding lessons for cadets and West Point families, to helping to develop a strong Pentathlon Team at West Point, to offering more space for the Mule Team to train and exercise West Point’s beloved mules. “The addition of this facility will not only benefit the equestrian team but the larger West Point community,” says Coach Peter Cashman. “It will afford all the ability to ride throughout the winter months and permit us to offer the use of this facility to other West Point organizations that need a large open area to function.” The Morgan Farm Indoor Equestrian Facility will meet the needs of the Equestrian Team and allow for future growth. But it will also help reinvigorate equestrianism among the entire West Point community and pay tribute to its rich history here at West Point. 256'-0" ENTRANCE ROOF PEAK ENTRANCE EL: 18'-6" PEAK HEIGHT ENTRANCE EL: 16'-0" EVE HEIGHT EVE HEIGHT EL: 10'-0" EL: 10'-0" 38'-0" 103'-11" 36'-1" FRONT ELEVATION 1 1/16" = 1' 89'-6" 1 5'-3 2" 2'-0" 1 12'-4 2" STABLES VIEWNUMBER ROOF PEAK SHEETNUMBER EL: 24'-0" STABLES EVE HEIGHT EL: 14'-4" VIEWNUMBER VIEWNUMBER VIEWNUMBER SHEETNUMBER SHEETNUMBER SHEETNUMBER SIDE ELEVATION SIDE ELEVATION 4 2 1/16" = 1' 1/16" = 1' ROOF PEAK EL: 35'-0" VIEWNUMBER EVE HIEGHT SHEETNUMBER EL: 22'-0" FLOOR EL: 0'-0" 252'-0" REAR ELEVATION 4 1/16" = 1' DATE: REVISION: BY: SHEET NO. 1 OF X XXX RAJASHEKAR R.
