Detroit Horsepower briefed the Equine Trails Subcommittee on construction of a new 14‑acre urban youth equestrian facility at 2701 Fenkell Street in Detroit, being built on a former middle school site. Phase one, expected to be completed around November–December 2026, will support nine horses, with a second phase planned to expand capacity to 17 horses and add indoor/outdoor arenas, classrooms, cafeteria, paddocks, a bridle trail, and a riding path connection toward the Joe Louis Greenway. The center is designed to be self‑sustaining through geothermal and solar energy systems, indicating ongoing needs for specialized design, construction, and long‑term maintenance services.While vendors for current construction are not named and major design decisions may already be in place, there is still commercial relevance around fit‑out, technology, renewable energy operation, trail construction, safety, and future expansion as youth programming scales up at the new campus.

Facility aims to be the largest urban youth equestrian center in the US and will rely on geothermal and solar systems for self‑sufficiency.
