The Palatine Park District Board first voted to close the stables in May, much to the disappointment of the owners of some 65 horses who are boarded there.
There's new push to save the Palatine Stables on Monday night after the park district announced plans to close the facility at the end of the summer.
"It was estimated to replace all the posts in the barn, it would have to be taken apart and rebuilt. It would be about $2.6 million. We don't have that money in the budget right now," said Palatine Park Board President Terry Ruff. "I live just five minutes away to be close to the barn. My horse is here. My closest friends are here. This is my family, and they are tearing a family apart," Yocum said.
