OUr Story

A Legacy of Community and Celebration
Established in 1974, Mt Hood Center began as a large horse barn with both indoor and outdoor arenas, quickly becoming a hub for the local equestrian community. Over the years, the center hosted major events for organizations such as the Oregon Quarter Horse Association and the NW Saddlebred Association.

After multiple ownership changes, the property fell into disrepair. In 2018, the current owner revitalized Mt Hood Center, restoring its historic facilities and expanding its purpose. Today, the property offers modern, well-maintained spaces for equestrian activities, community events, and private celebrations.

Our mission is to create a community hub that supports connection, growth, and enrichment for Clackamas County and beyond. While we continue to provide exceptional equine facilities, we also host weddings, private parties, concerts, rodeos, farmers markets, and business meetings
