The Meyring family has a long history with ranching and horses in Colorado. For seven generations, the family has operated a working cattle ranch in North Park south of Walden and near Spicer Peak. In 2001, the current owner, Becky Meyring’s dad Dave, built Spicer Arena with the idea of having tremendous horse facilities for family and friends. As recognition of their ties to North Park, the arena was named after Spicer Peak. Dave’s dream was certainly realized as the property has become a destination for rodeo events, equestrian competitions, horse clinics, horse training, and other events.
