As of May 18, 2024, the Orange County Coastkeeper and The Ridland Group have agreed in principle to a plan that will protect the San Juan Creek while allowing Blenheim EquiSports to hold its equestrian events this season at the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park in San Juan Capistrano, CA.

“We are profoundly grateful to Coastkeeper for their hard work and cooperative efforts to assure the long-term future of equestrian events at the Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park under the strictest of environmental protocols,” said Robert Ridland, President of The Ridland Group. “This agreement confirms not only that the equestrian competitions will continue in 2024 but that all the other various community and charity events will as well. Most importantly, this agreement assures that all equestrian activities at the Riding Park will operate in a manner that provides the highest degree of protection to the environment and the surrounding watershed.”

The parties have been in longstanding collaboration in order to come up with a plan to protect the San Juan Creek and have settled on a clear course of action that will protect water quality while continuing equestrian operations at The Riding Park. The Ridland Group is committed to upholding Coastkeeper’s goal of improving local water quality to protect the people and wildlife of the San Juan Creek Watershed.

2 day clinic at First Field Farm w Patrick Spanton was really great this wkend. Savannahs Ben was very scared Sat of the 3 canopies along side the arena but they got thru the day. And then today he acted like he did not have a worry in the world. Hacked beautifully and jumped like a star. Savannah rode beautifully and everyone was very impressed with the difference in big Ben. ❤️ Really great job

The power of a pony!

1968 Olympics. The mighty Stroller in action with Marion Mould
Stroller, a bay gelding, made history as the sole pony to participate in show jumping at the Olympics. Standing at approximately 14.1 hands (57 inches, 145 cm), he represented the British team alongside Marion Coakes in the 1968 Olympics held in Mexico. While Bill Steinkraus and Snowbound secured the Gold Medal, Marion and Stroller claimed the Individual Silver Medal, finishing just four faults behind Steinkraus. Stroller's exceptional performance included one of the only two clear rounds in the Olympic individual championship.

In addition to his Olympic success, Marion rode Stroller to victory in the Hickstead Derby in 1967, making him the sole pony to ever win this prestigious event. Their remarkable partnership also earned them the Wills Hickstead Gold Medal for five consecutive years, from 1965 to 1970, based on their performance in major events throughout the year. At the impressive age of 20, Stroller triumphed in the 1970 Hamburg Derby. Together, they emerged victorious in a total of 61 international competitions.

Stroller was a crossbred horse, sired by a Thoroughbred and out of a Connemara pony mare. After a fulfilling retirement spanning 15 years, he sadly passed away at the remarkable age of 36 due to a heart attack in 1986. Stroller found his final resting place at Barton-on-Sea Golf Club in New Milton, Hampshire, England.

A really nice show was had yesterday at the Paddock riding club with good but a little chilly weather. We have had several canceled shows with all this rain of late. Crystal Davis was Res Champion in her div at her 1st show on her new adorable horse Popular J. She also jumped in hunter hack as well like shed been doing it for months. Go Crystal! Brynns horse with new name of Mr Waylon B instead of just Waylon was fabulous-I wonder if its his new name that has him growing up some. Waylon usually is leaping for joy somewhere in the Am at a show and this time he was so settled. Jody started really great in the morning and had a couple bobbles in her large classes. We all are always learning along the way while we are having fun, on to next months show
