Dear Friends of Ellis, For reasons that are not entirely clear, several Kendall County Forest Preserve board members are requesting to close the Equestrian Center at Ellis. The volunteers and staff at Ellis House and Equestrian Center need your help fighting for what we all enjoy and believe in…our horses and the programs they afford us! Our horses love their home and we cannot imagine them being subjected to an uncertain future. Please sign this electronic petition to show your support of Ellis and its equestrian programs. Thank you for your continued support! The Volunteers of EHEC

Watching the count rise reminds me every day how much these horses and our programs mean to this community. We need to push harder to reach our next goal before the board meets again.

I have been spending my mornings at the barn watching the horses and thinking about how much of our community relies on this space. Hearing your stories about how these animals have changed your lives reminds me why we are fighting so hard to keep the gates open. We are currently preparing our case for the next board meeting to ensure they see the true value of this center.

Seeing the list grow reminds me how much this place means to everyone who has ever walked through our stables. We are just shy of a hundred names and I need you to help push us over that threshold today. Please send this link to a neighbor or friend who loves these horses as much as we do.

My kids have been riding here for years. They learned so much about responsibility and respect for animals. Please dont shut this place down!

This barn is the only place my daughter feels like herself. You cant just kick these horses out.

WHY would they even consider this? The horses are happy and the programs are great. Stop messing with things that actually work.

Ridiculous idea. This place is a gem in the community and the horses are so well taken care of. Keep Ellis open!!

I grew up riding at Ellis. It would be a huge shame to see it go. Leave the center alone.
