Skyview Ranch outside McGregor will take over some of the operations of McLennan Community College’s Highlander Ranch in September, after MCC trustees on June 30 approved a five-year lease agreement.
Why this matters in The Waco
The lease agreement between Skyview Ranch and McLennan Community College's Highlander Ranch brings new life to the college's equestrian operations. This partnership could enhance the local equestrian scene, potentially attracting more horse enthusiasts and competitions to the area. With Skyview Ranch taking over some operations, the community may see an increase in equestrian events and activities, which could have a positive impact on local businesses, particularly those catering to horse owners and riders. The five-year lease agreement also provides stability for the Highlander Ranch, allowing MCC to focus on its academic programs while still maintaining a connection to the equestrian community. As the lease begins in September, the community will be watching to see how this new partnership benefits both the college and the local equestrian industry.
