8,/16/2019 Zi mbra Zi m bra sstowers@sjgov.org Sargent Equestrian Center Use Permit From : Howard Leal <htleal@att.net> Thu, Aug 15, 2019 03:30 PM Subject : Sargent Equestrian Center Use Permit To : sstowers@sjgov.org To Ms. Stowers, I am writing this letter in support of Sargent Equestrian Center being issued a Use Permit for the clinics, events and playdays they offer to those of us involved in driving horses. I know there are a lot of facilities in your county that offer different types of horse riding sports, such as, Dressage, Eventing, Western Pleasure and Hunter, Jumper. Sargent offers a very unique sport venue that makes it very important to those of us who drive horses. The venue is beautiful and has a top of the line facility, very well kept, that allows us to hone our driving skills in a safe and supportive environment. This facility is supported by the American Driving Society and United States Equestrian Foundation, because of the work and quality of the events offered there. I am a para- driver, who is very grateful to this establishment for offering special support to those of us who have disabilities. I feel safe and there are always personnel who are there to help in any way needed to assist me when I am driving. The loss of a facility would be huge blow for the driving community in our area, I hope San Joaquin County understands the importance of supporting the horse community and those who are disabled to be able to continue to enjoy the sport and animals we so love. I am no longer able to ride but still am passionate about horses and the partnership I have been able to establish with my Haflinger, Dancer in being a driver. Thank you for your consideration of this Use Permit application and all that it means to the driving community. Sincerely, Theresa Leal zimbra/zimbraftprintmessage?id=58564&tz=America/Los Angeles �/1
