                        <title>Majestic Oaks Equestrian Estates Community Simpsonville Kentucky</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ In The Sentinel-News newspaper today October 19 2007, there was an
article regarding a change for one of the local equestrian communities
in Louisville Kentucky.

On Tuesday at the Shelby County Triple S Planning and Zoning
Commission regularly scheduled meeting, there were a lot of residents
from the Majestic Oaks Equestrian Estates community in Simpsonville.


The Majestic Oaks Equestrian Estates developers proposal was to
subdivide a 25 acre tract into 5 new lots for the subdivision. This
would be a deviation from the equestrian gated communities development
plan, particularly its landscaping regulations which states in part
that all homeowners would have access to the the subdivisionrsquo;s equine
riding trails.


The president of the Majestic Oaks Equestrian Estates Homeowner
Association, Jeff Rein, stated that he paid extra to be a part of an
equestrian community because of the riding trails and contended that
property values may suffer if the developer was allowed to violate the
master plan for the development.


The Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission urged the developer and
the concerned residents to try to resolve their issues with each other,
but the developers maintained their resolve and desire to split the
real estate into 5 new lots.


The Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission acknowledged that the
developer had complied with all of the requirements of the countyrsquo;s
subdivision regulations of which they must abide. And as a result, the
commission unanimously voted to approve the creation of the new lots.


The Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission attorney, Vic Brizendine
stated, ldquo;We plan the county. We donrsquo;t plan subdivisions. Itrsquo;s not up to
us to referee your problems. And apparently you have problems.rdquo;.


Hopefully the developers will incorporate their design in keeping
with the rest of the Majestic Oaks equine community in Simpsonville.

                        <title>Equestrian Community: L’Esprit in La Grange KY</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ Located northeast of Louisville KY in Oldham and Henry Counties,
just outside of La Grange Kentucky, the Lrsquo;Esprit equestrian community
was the first large, planned development in North Central Kentucky that
centered around one thing: horses. The 5400 acres was devoted to
Arabian horses largely in part due to the tax incentives that were
available at the time of its inception in the 1980s.

The plans for the development featured 60 horse farm tracts ranging
in size from 13 - 700 acres. It had its own Quarantine / Receiving
center that would keep incoming horses in isolation to avoid the
potential spread of any diseases that the newcomers to the community
might be carrying. It had its own veterinary and surgery complex, a
maintenance area, and its own sales center.


The gently rolling community even had some nice water features with
some gently babbling creeks flowing through the development, and 2
lakes.


The development did quite well initially - but was soon met with an
uncertain economy coupled with the removal of the tax benefits that
once made Arabian horse farms so attractive. Then the real estate
market became very soft, which made the once in demand development
unattractive, and unaffordable for most persons. The community then
languished for several years - its fate not entirely certain.


Today, things have really turned around and Lrsquo;Esprit has become the
horse community that it was always intended to be. With gently rolling
hills, conveniences of shopping nearby in LaGrange which has become a
bedroom community to Louisville, and quick access to the I-71
interstate - the community has really revitalized and bounced back.


Many persons searching the horse properties for sale in Kentucky,
quickly find that an equestrian community is exactly what they are
wanting.
