Dan Urban, son of the owners of Quail Run Horse Centre, reflects on the past year of recovering and rebuilding after a tornado ripped through the center’s barns during a horse show. The tornado caused significant damage to the property, turning the back half of the barn into a pile of debris. Despite the challenges, the center is still in the process of rebuilding and repairing the damage caused by the tornado.

Quail Run Horse Centre is currently hosting the Omaha Equestrian Spectacular, the same event that was cut short last year due to the tornado. Dan Urban describes the surreal moment when the tornado hit, causing destruction and chaos on the property. The center initially focused on restoring basic functionality for riders and horses, and is now working on more extensive repairs to the barn and surrounding areas.

Despite the ongoing challenges, Dan Urban remains optimistic about the future of Quail Run Horse Centre. He emphasizes the importance of continuing to produce events and provide opportunities for equine enthusiasts, despite the setbacks caused by the tornado. Urban acknowledges that there is still a long way to go in the rebuilding process, but he is determined to keep moving forward and providing a safe and welcoming environment for riders and horses.
