PLEASE EMAIL GOVERNOR NEWSOME TO HELP SAVE THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER!
Dear Office of the Governor,
For several months, the boarders at the Equestrian Center at the 32nd DAA (OC Fairgrounds) have been publicly asking the CEO and the Board to review and AMEND THEIR CONTRACT so that it is clear and fair. Signed and submitted contracts with notes and addendums and board payments were timely submitted, but the Fairgrounds refused to accept them.
EXAMPLES OF DEFECTS IN THE CONTRACT: 1. the term "Premises" is used multiple times, yet is not defined anywhere. 2. The damages clause is missing the “except normal wear and tear” verbiage customary to all rental agreements. No reasonable person would sign the contract as is. A small minority of boarders did sign, under duress, fearing retaliation of the CEO and Board (not because they do not have concerns with the contract.)

On August 1, CEO Michele Richards locked all arenas, turnouts and hot walkers so our horses can have no access to proper footing or exercise on the property. We have already reached out to our local legislators who have publicly condemned CEO Richards’s actions. We have reached out to CDFA and CHRB – they tell us they have no authority.

On August 15th, CEO Richards sent notice that on Friday AUGUST 23rd they will remove us from the property if we do not sign their contract.

Governor Newsome, you have authority over the CEO and Board. Please, use your power to call CEO Michele Richards at the 32nd DAA (OC Fairgrounds) and ask her to 1. Immediately unlock all arenas, turnouts and hot walkers so our horses can have access to the property 2. Agree to review the addendums/notes we have regarding the current contract 3. Stop trying to evict us and accept our payments while we work to remedy the situation. We ask for A PHONE CALL from your office! Please grant the equestrians until the September Board Meeting, when we will again have public access to the Board.

Thank you for your help!

Follow for instructions to send message to Governor.

You can contact the Governor a few different ways. The best way is through his online form.

Looking for your next Hunter show horse???

Murano MCW aka known in barn as True Blue.
Beautiful 17.1 hand Liver Chestnut Oldenburg gelding Hunter ready for his next rider who’s been coming up well. Can easily step over the 2’ but really brightens & shines nicely at the 3’ hunter fences. Big step, carry the leg and he will help hunt the fences and has fun doing it with his rider. Solid safe citizen who like to have a job.

08/05/2024

Congratulations Miss S. This was the Hardest earned Ribbon of the weekend.
Courage was found by digging down deep, into her gut, finding the will, grit, knowing the glory of pushing through the personal challenges, & then stepping into the saddle, to the show ring and getting it done when Fear was trying to take over. Moonstone riders: We Do the HARD!!! 💪🌟🎉

08/05/2024

Deja Vu & Miss C. Aka Jackson with his next owner and family, the Hubbard’s.
If you know this horse, then there is no need to explain who he is, what he does to help his riders learn to succeed.

Team mates and families find friendships are developed & strengthened during shows. Hanging together, eating together, relaxing together, supporting through the successes & through the challenges.

Miss V and Gumball. Finding consistency, fire, focus & grit. Great job at the show. Took home nice reds and yellows; just at the almost touching the Blue zone & pushing through the Wall to get to that other level. 💪 🔥

Share and spread the word: CEO Michelle Richards says the equestrian center is running at a deficit...but she’s paying for 4 guards to come in, lock all of the turnouts, all the arenas, erect fencing to block movement, and guard us...now that sounds expensive! Not having a place for the horses to roll, stretch and exercise is animal cruelty, not to mention just plain stupid.

We have been asking to negotiate the rental agreements, but the Fairgrounds insists that we sign the agreements as is, with no changes. Their contract language exposes us to liabilities for damages to property and does not acknowledge the deferred maintenance which is needed. Also, they are unwilling to define the space which we can use, and just on Saturday asked us to agree to moving our horses to different barns if they choose to. There are plenty of stalls and space for their programs without the need to disrupt the remaining horses and programs. We want to negotiate and have input, but they have been unwilling to meet. So today, they locked our access to properly exercise our horses, and are precluding the public (including us) from having lessons.

Please join us to protest today on the sidewalks outside of the fairgrounds, from 4:30 to 6 pm.
Please spread the word!

Luna update. She is so happy with Sheri and her team. Being able to stay at her 1st barn to be safe from the wildlife that we have at our place. I get pictures all the time. That is you Sheri ❤️

Caitlyn and Malone

Gold Coast .80 jumpers. Caitlyn is really starting to step it up. Great job. Strong💪

Victoria &Gumball

Victoria learning to keep her leg on and going forward riding to every jump. So proud of her determination to vontinue goong on. I got reprimanded for "coaching” /cheer leading while helping give her the fire to push the pony on to every jump. For those around I'm sorry I was yelling to help her. She is in a learning pattern of how to give the extra Umpf and not be too soft. Training today in the skills we know; as well as training today for skills we don’t know how to do yet for tomorrow and develop them as they are ones we will need for tomorrow and the repeat. Day after day. The growth of training. 💪 Gold Coast Horseshow. We are having so much fun and enjoying these breakthroughs!

All the horses are doing well. There is ready as they will be for the rest of today and tonight. A huge shout out!! To Amanda S, 💪 who stop by & helped trench out & build berms to divert the water straight into the creek that was running off from our front barn and making a straight line into the arena. 😠 There’s enough water getting in there by the sky it doesn’t need to be added to by the impromptu creek. We’re definitely getting water out of the system. Hurricane 🌀 Others will let me know if there’s any problem. Some of the on-site residents have already done walk-throughs at our barn. I’m on my way home now before the storm gets worse for my own safety. Our normal staff will be back in tomorrow. Thank you for your patience as we get a full closure today.❤️

Mobius “Moby” was introduced to his Retirement pasture and is doing well. Relaxing and cruising around. Made friends nicely ♥️

This is the pasture where Moby will soon join. Next to it is where Hershey & Skye are living their retirement years together

So with every horses journey there’s the time when retirement comes. Today was Möbius’ day. He will spend a night in a grand box stall then so be introduced to pasture. Congratulations Moby

Some easier schooling this week. Time to build up this weekend. Getting ready for showing.

Winning jump off round of GP on Saturday

Running into old friends / past clients ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

What a view

Spring is so beautiful. Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and Passover. Enjoy this beautiful time.

Great day to start jumping the New Moonstone jumps. (Click link for the full course). Let’s get Legged up for the larger ones then ready to go show soon. Thank you to the Moonstone clients that made it possible for our jumps to get built. Phase one is done. More to come 😁 https://www.vzmessages.com/ol/dbb3f6b23a2403b7021d2e68b6edd11f715dadbd

Oh is this on the Calm app?? No it’s Today in Southern Calif at Ranch AHSC. 🌧️

One of the resident squirrels having an acorn for lunch. They are cute ☺️ 🐿️

Sunday news for lessons. Come dress properly‼️ Winter jackets, warm gloves, maybe leggings under the pants, scarf is nice, warm winter hats or beanies. Also, Date Cutoff for the Moonstone Clothing is coming fast, March 2nd. Order through the site. Get the jacket, vest and anything else you wish.

Nice to see the little creek at our center taking water away. Hoping we will dry fasted then it sitting in place 🤞

The little creek was flowing well this am. It’s nice to see it drain the water washing away.

Weather is a-coming….🥶🌧️ ⛈️ Rain, hail, thunder, lightning oh my. Lol

Took S.G. & Big Moby to the dressage court to work. We are a Hunter/Jumper barn but to have to chance to work on some precision flat work is great for horse and rider. 90% of having a successful jumping round comes from the flat work practice. It will be lots of fun to continue to cont to tighten up this team in the court. They did quite amazing though as this is a new area to work in.
