The Licking County Equestrian Center opened its doors to public boarding in 1990. In 2003, the facility was purchased by Jeff and Vicky Christiansen. Since then, LCEC has seen multiple improvements and expansions. In 2009, LCEC became a family affair: the Christiansen's daughter and son-in-law, Chelsea and Justin Francis, aid in maintenance, and their three grandchildren take lessons with the on-site trainers.
