Join us on this captivating journey to the enchanting El Campeon Farms, an award-winning equestrian sanctuary nestled within the picturesque rolling hills of Thousand Oaks. This family-owned and operated estate is much more than a ranch; it stands as a breathtaking testament to its reputation as the premier equestrian facility in Southern California. Our immersive, behind-the-scenes tour will showcase the farm’s world-class operations, from meticulously trained show jumpers to the family's cherished hunters, equitation stars and spirited young horses. Established in 2000, El Campeon originally served as the elite training base for high-performance show jumpers, including members of the Gold Medal-winning U.S. Olympic team. Today, the farm has evolved into a versatile multi-disciplinary center and serves as a vital sanctuary for the Preservation of the Santa Cruz Island Horse project. These rare, small-framed horses are the descendants of those brought to the California islands by Spanish explorers centuries ago. Having lived in isolation for generations, they are a unique piece of California’s living history. You’ll learn about the dedicated efforts to save this critically endangered breed from extinction and ensure their legacy continues for years to come. Beyond the horses, you’ll be delighted to meet the farm’s diverse family of resident animals, including friendly donkeys, goats, pigs, emus, llamas, tortoises, and even camels! Beyond its athletic prestige, the estate’s stunning vistas have made it favorite for the silver screen. El Campeon has hosted numerous television shows and films – including Modern Family and Dinner for Schmucks – and served as the backdrop for a staggering seven Budweiser Super Bowl Commercials. You could truly say this is where the magic of Hollywood meets the majesty of horses! We’ll enjoy an included boxed lunch picnic in the shade of the farm’s ancient, beautiful trees. To top off our day of rustic elegance, we’ll make a stop for an included sweet treat on the way home. This tour involves moderate walking over uneven terrain and stepping up into a wagon.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
