Join us for an exclusive journey to the enchanting El Campeon Farms, an award-winning equestrian sanctuary nestled within the picturesque rolling hills of Thousand Oaks. This family-owned estate is far 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 showcases the farm’s world-class operations, introducing you to everything from meticulously trained grand prix show jumpers to cherished hunters, equitation stars and spirited young prospects. 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 that also serves as a vital sanctuary for the Preservation of the Santa Cruz Island Horse project. These rare, small-framed horses are the direct descendants of those brought to the California Channel Islands by Spanish explorers centuries ago. Having lived in isolation for generations, they represent a unique piece of California’s living history. During our visit, you’ll learn about the dedicated passionate efforts to save this critically endangered breed from extinction and ensure their legacy thrives for generations to come. Beyond the majestic 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! And it isn't just equestrians who love this stunning estate; its dramatic vistas and rustic elegance have long made it a favorite for the silver screen. El Campeon has hosted numerous high-profile television shows and films – including Modern Family and Dinner for Schmucks – and served as the scenic backdrop for a staggering seven iconic Budweiser Super Bowl Commercials! It is truly a place where the magic of Hollywood meets the majesty of horses! We’ll enjoy an included boxed lunch picnic beneath the shade of the farm’s ancient, sweeping 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.
