The Bridges at Preston Crossings, a master-planned community developed by Bluegreen Communities, is set to open their first-class equestrian complex on Saturday, November 21, 2009. This brand new equestrian complex, located in Gunter, Texas, just north of Dallas, features boarding stables, indoor and outdoor arenas, paddocks and more than 10 acres of horse riding trails.

Jeff White, The Bridges Equestrian Center operator, recently talked about the new equestrian complex:

"We are so excited to bring first class equestrian activities to the residents of The Bridges, Gunter and the surrounding areas. We are looking so forward to meeting the people and bringing them the opportunity to experience all that horses have to give."

Mr. White went on to talk about what the area has to offer.

"The many miles of groomed trails that we have access to, with lovely wooded areas, rolling hills and beautiful surroundings make The Bridges Equestrian Center a premier facility. When you add the top notch facilities, including the wonderful barns and arenas and the superlative care, this facility is beyond compare."

The Bridges at Preston Crossings will hold a grand opening event on Saturday, November 21, 2009 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at The Bridges, located at 17970 FM 121 in Gunter, Texas. Event activities include Equestrian Center tours, hay rides, horseback riding, fishing on the 24-acre lake and more.

During the event, The Bridges will offer tours of its exclusive gated neighborhood, Timber Creek, which features one-half to 1 acre wooded and golf homesites. The equestrian complex and former ranch was the site of two Dallas Cattle Baron’s Balls. The facilities have also hosted polo matches and events attended by celebrities, political dignitaries, Grammy award-winning musicians and international royalty.

Perfect for daily living or a weekend retreat, The Bridges at Preston Crossings offers a variety of amenities for everyone. Home of the new Fred Couples Signature Golf Course, The Bridges caters to golfers and non-golfers with its spectacular 18-hole course, 6,000-sf clubhouse and bar and grill onsite. The community also features an Amenities Complex with swimming pool, tennis courts and fitness area; a 17-acre Equestrian Center; 11 miles of walking and riding trails; and a 24-acre lake for fishing and canoeing. With seven other private parks onsite, living at The Bridges is like being at a resort every day.
