Ox Ridge Hunt Club

Consolidation was the key to future success

The Ox Ridge Hunt Club has been in Darien for over 100 years. It has a long-standing history in the equestrian world, including the famed summer circuit. Every riding club in the Northeast was getting a facelift and Ox Ridge needed one, too.

They turned to their bank for additional funding, but were turned down for a loan. Honestly, they didn’t know what to do, until they were introduced to First County Bank. The Bank took a look at the property (40 acres), poured through all their numbers and suggested they refinance and consolidate debt, which would help make sure they would be here for another 100 years.

The consolidation also freed up liquid assets for the Club, which in turn helped them upgrade their facilities. “We want to do what’s best for the horses, the children and our community,” said Flavia Callari, business manager at Ox Ridge, “and First County Bank has allowed us to continue doing that.”
