Henderson County lawyers clash over horse ring on protected farm
In a Henderson County court hearing, lawyers argued about a partially built riding ring on the Hidden Valley Farm near Flat Rock. The case centers on a 60 acre conservation easement protecting two thirds of the property and the owner's use of land for equestrian activities versus preservation stipulations. The conservancy contends the work violated the easement by excavating and adding structures, potentially harming water quality and habitat. The owner argues for broad farmland preservation rights under state law.
