Show HORSES are living in condos still under construction. is complex SEVERAL even though the IRA MEDLOCK Horses Relax, Exercise By MAGGI HOLMES Review Staff LAYTON Condominiums for horses may seem like a strange idea but Ira Medlock from the Raintree Development and Energy Inc. is excited about it. This idea will hopefully catch on and spread, he said. Raintree Inc. is currently remodeling an already existing stable to make the condos at 897 S. Angel in Layton. The stables will be handled the same as other condominiums. We have to do all of the things that they have to do for people condos, Medlock said. Stable areas will be sold in a ptfce range from $8,500 to $13,500. Owners will have access to all of the facilities at the site. Owners wjll be required to pay a months fee; however, the management at the stable is hoping to keep that fee down by renting out the facilities for auctions, performances and contests. explains the renovation that is taking place at Raintree Equestrian Center in Layton. at Equestrian Condominiums where the horse, rider and trainer trading the use of her swimming can work without distraction, Medpool for upkeep and care of the pool lock said.

The areas where the horses will be housed are already neatly layered with fresh sawdust. Now there are no more than a couple dozen horses residing at the stable because construction is not yet complete. The new stables have metal interiors so that the horses cannot damage them. The exteriors will be attractively finished too, Medlock said. Total completion is expected in November. Raintree Inc. has already constructed many of the facilities in Layton they need to be a equestrian park and will begin selling stalls in early October. The area, just over eight acres, features an all weather indoor arena which measures 80 feet by 200 feet. The arena is now being rented to posse clubs and other groups in the Layton area for competition and . . full-servi- quar-terhors- es MORE JOBS Employment Picture Better in August The Utah Department of Employment Security has reported a slight temporary improvement in the labor market in August in Davis County along with other areas in the Wasatch Front North District. Total employment in the district climbed by 430 during August, reaching a total of 94,420 workers. That total exceeds nonfarm employment of a year ago by non-far- m percent to 7.2 percent. Government employment is estimated to have dropped by 290 since July but otherwise the various major industrial segments of the labor force were showing small gains during August. Led by constructions boost of 200 workers, there are 180 more service workers, 170 more manufacturing workers and 120 more people now working for trade firms, the' report for August shows. An estimated 9,370 people are 6 200 jobs. This is in contrast to what the report called a sluggish second quarter for 1981, when the number of people employed in the district was 653 smaller than in the second quarter of 1980. For the same period, the number of people unemployed in the district grew by 18.8 percent, resulting in an increase in the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate from . Two Physicians Join listed as unemployed job seekers in the district, which includes Weber and Morgan Counties, a figure that is up considerably from the 8,720 in July and the 8,240 in August of 1980. Although four industries, including construction, manufacturing, transportation and government, all have reduced work forces since August of last year, trade, finance and service have added sufficient new employees to result in a very small overall increase in total nonfarm jobs in the district. deal with problems. Another individual that is important to the stable although he is not directly hired by them, is the veterinarian. Kevin Hill has his total horse care center across the street from Raintree. Hill is a young vet, just setting up his prac-tic- e in Davis County. His facility is just two months old, Medlock said. The program at the stables is set up so that the owner of the horse will do most of the grooming, but company personnel will be available to clean the stalls and to feed the animals. Most of the feed will be purchased by Raintree, Medlock said. The stable is able to get a better price because they are buying in bulk, he said. This is Raintrees second horse condominium venture. The first is in Sandy, Utah, and involves 52 stalls on a four-acr- e parcel. Unlike the Layton venture there are no other facilities. Medlock said the condominium concept provides a new alternative for horse owners. Instead of putting money down the drain to rent or lease facilities, they will have an investment that will appreciate just like other real' estate. Med- - lock said. The Raintree Equestrian Center is also the home of Weber State Colleges School of Equinology. Last year both beginning and advanced classes were taught at the center. The classes included about four different types of information. One type of information is called English pleasure which includes uses of the reins, reward and punishment. Another type was hunt seat equitation which taught the posting trot, the canter, the gallop on hand and elements of being judged. Dressage includes training in the paces, halt and half halt, balance, horse head position and bending. The last section, jumping, included training in rein positions and use, cavalleti and basic jump instruction. Medlock said the equestrian center and WSC plan to have a similar program again this . year. Both theory classes and riding classes were being taught but only the riding classes will actually be taught at the center. The classes are offered for credit or through the colleges continuing education program. non-cred- it COeiiTuEasGa'o- (CyffiaQmfa7Qi?rsFiny Practice in Bountiful BOUNTIFUL Two doctors have joined the South Davis Medical Center.
