Utah’s Best of State Winner: Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center

The Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center, including the renowned ConToy Arena and Skyline Eventing Park, has been awarded the Best of State medal in the Equestrian Sports category for 2025. This honor celebrates excellence in Utah’s sports and recreation scene.

Located in Mt. Pleasant, Utah, the center is widely recognized as the state’s premier cross country and eventing facility. It features four all-weather rings (including a spacious indoor arena), over 200 horse stalls, ten concrete-pad wash stalls, RV hookups, and a challenging cross-country course with natural jumps, water obstacles, sunken roads, and varied terrain for all skill levels.

Through significant support including more than $600,000 in grants and in-kind contributions from the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation, Utah State Parks, and the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area, the center has added a covered warm-up barn, restrooms, showers, and improved amenities for trail riders and eventers.

More than a competition venue, the facility fosters community tourism, attracts riders from across Utah, and builds equestrian culture in the region. With its Best of State medal, the Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center is officially one of Utah’s standout destinations for sport, heritage, and horse-loving excellence.
