This world-class, expansive staple of the California H/J Circuits is home to one of the top Show Jumpers in the US currently. With multiple farms across California, and a significant traveling show team, this facility is the textbook definition of exciting, high class sport. The home facility is exceptionally manicured, well staffed, and full of some of the best equine talent in the nation. This is an equestrian facility run as a true business, and offers life-changing opportunities to those who join the team.
