Wonderful news!

PRESS RELEASE from Friends of Del Mar Horsepark

(Del Mar, CA) Friends of Del Mar Horsepark is excited to announce that Struzzieri Ventures Inc. that operates HITS Horse Shows facilities nationwide will lease Horsepark. We expect Horsepark to reopen in 2023.

On June 6, 2022, the 22nd DAA—owner of the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Horsepark--sent a “Notice of Intent to Award” the Horsepark lease to Mr. Struzzieri, CEO of Struzzieri Ventures, Inc., after the higher scoring proposer withdrew his proposal.

As Tom Struzzieri puts it: “In my over 40-year career, I have coordinated horse shows up and down the State of California. From Santa Rosa to Santa Cruz to Santa Barbara to Indio and Thermal and indeed over 30 years ago in Del Mar.

The Horse Park in Del Mar remains my favorite location in California. For horsemen to have access to such a jewel in such a desirable location is unheard of anywhere in the US, let alone in California.

HITS feels doubly blessed to not only have a relatively blank canvas to enhance the property but also to have the opportunity to produce many hunter-jumper and dressage events right here in Del Mar. I look forward to starting the project of renovating one of the most iconic horse facilities in the country, and then producing some of California’s most outstanding events!”

According to the HITS press release dated June 9, 2022, “HITS will address the environmental concerns that caused the original closure of the Del Mar Horsepark in 2022. HITS will also improve the footing in the rings, adjust the facility layout to be more exhibitor friendly, and upgrade the quality of the stabling.

HITS looks forward to returning to the West Coast for the 2023 show season and welcoming exhibitors back to the storied Del Mar Horsepark, allowing the West Coast to continue its long tradition of top equestrian competitions at the popular venue.”

It’s according to our friends at CAL FIRE.

Take some time to review existing plans, make a plan if you don’t have one, work with your local fire authority to refine your plan or identify holes in the game plan.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to do some maintenance to eliminate dry brush within 100 feet of structures, trim trees, etc.

Two horses from San Bernardino positive for EIA.

Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is a viral disease that attacks horses’ immune systems. The virus is transmitted through the exchange of body fluids from an infected to an uninfected animal, often by blood-feeding insects such as horseflies. It can also be transmitted through the use of blood-contaminated instruments or needles.

The horses tested positive while under quarantine at their 60-day recheck.
