Join us on this captivating journey to the enchanting El Campeon Farms, an award-winning equestrian farm nestled amongst the picturesque rolling hills of Thousand Oaks. This family-owned and operated facility stands as a true testament to its reputation as the premier equestrian farm in Southern California. An immersive, behind-the-scenes tour will showcase the meticulously trained show jumpers as well as the family's cherished hunters, equitation and young horses. Established in 2000 as a training base for high-performance show jumpers, (including members of the Gold Medal-winning U.S. team in the 2008 Olympics), the farm has recently evolved into a training facility for multiple disciplines and as an important base for the Preservation of the Santa Cruz Island Horse project. In addition, it has been a filming location for a number of films, television shows and commercials including a staggering seven Budweiser Superbowl Commercials, an episode of Modern Family, and film Dinner for Schmucks. You could say that this is where the magic of Hollywood meets the majesty of horses! We’ll enjoy an included boxed lunch picnic in the shade of beautiful trees, and we’ll make a stop for an included sweet treat on the way home. |
