A “mane” attraction in The Palm Beaches, this 111-acre world-class showplace operated by the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department was built with the local horse enthusiast in mind. The facility’s two permanent barns offer 128 stalls, plus tent pads for additional temporary stabling. The center features nine miles of equestrian surface trails with idyllic lake views. The covered and lighted Western Event Arena measures 37,500 square feet, and spans 76 by 46 meters. The smaller Flex Fence Arena still measures a copious 27,000 square feet with meter dimensions of 60 by 40. The Jim Brandon Equestrian Center hosts several local and national horse and dog shows.
