Thanks to Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department for working with Anchorage Horse Council to get some new signage up around the Ruth Arcand Park trail system. Hopefully the prompts to keep dogs on leashes will help increase awareness of the fact that horses and riders do frequent this multi use trail system and interactions between agressive dogs and horses are not something anyone wants to be involved with! Please continue to enjoy the trails. We are lucky to have so many trails throughout Anchorage. It’s part of what makes this a special place to live! 🏇🌳🦌

Anchorage Horse Council would like to acknowledge that a trails committee of local horse riders and trail enthusiasts worked on this project since March and we thank them for their efforts.

Greetings all 👋 Due to increased undesirable activities taking place inside the bounds of the WCCEC, we will start locking the gate more regularly. If you need in to use the facility and find the gate locked please text one of your board members for the code. Thank you all!

Anchorage horse folks, Solid Waste Services is accepting horse manure. Check their hours.

Live in South Anchorage? Manure available for pickup at the Chamberlain Equestrian Center (Abbot and Elmore) - no charge.

And for horse owners, spread the word - SWS's MRF (old central transfer station pictured below) accepts horse manure (as well as grass, leaves, straw, food scraps). Hours are Thurs-Saturday 8-3:30 pm. Fees for commercial operations (a stable? or manure hauling business?) are 50% the usual fee at the Central Transfer Station. Truckloads are $20 - same as the transfer station - but you know the manure is ending up back in the soil where it belongs.

Good afternoon all 👋

🛑 Let this serve as a reminder that horses are not to be turned loose in any arena at WCCEC except the western arena (which has appropriate fencing) and the round pens.

🐴 IF your horse is loose in the western arena or round pen they cannot be left unattended, meaning your human feet need to be in the ring with them.

⬇️ Thank you all for abiding and if anyone wants to brush up on the rules we all agree to when we come to WCCEC please click the link in the comments.

🐎 Enjoy your rides friends!

Cirque Ma'Ceo Brings Equestrian Elegance to Anchorage

Anchorage is about to experience something truly spectacular. This summer, Cirque Ma'Ceo returns with six unforgettable performances, hosted by the Anchorage Horse Council.

This isn’t your typical big-top show. It’s an elegant, exciting performance that blends the raw power of exotic horses with the grace of aerialists and dancers. At the center of it all is Olissio Zoppe, a ninth-generation ba****ck rider and visionary behind Cirque Ma'Ceo. His passion for preserving equestrian arts has created a touring masterpiece that speaks to both tradition and innovation.

The horses are not mere props—they are co-stars, moving in harmony with their human counterparts in a breathtaking display of trust, skill, and beauty. Each act tells a story, pulling the audience into a world where the bond between human and animal is celebrated in every movement.

The Cirque Ma'Ceo team is extremely excited to be returning to Anchorage and so thankful to the Anchorage Horse Council for hosting them once again. With only six shows scheduled, Alaskan audiences have a limited opportunity to witness this internationally renowned production.

Tickets are selling fast—and for good reason. Cirque Ma'Ceo is not just a show; it’s an experience you’ll never forget.
