“At one point I was doing 50 weeks a year traveling to horse shows all over the country, from Alaska to South Beach in Florida to the Hamptons in New York. I came home because this is
the greatest place.” —Charlie Esau with his wife, Leeanna
their care and well-being. It is an educated horse community.” Charlie Esau, who with his
wife Leeanna manages the serene family boarding facil- ity for lay-ups, retirements and trail-riders, agrees that the equestrian community in Encinitas and Olivenhain edu- cated, is wide-ranging. “There are world class facili- ties and riders throughout the area, and two world-class show facilities in Showpark and the Del Mar Fairgrounds where they host World Cups and World Cup qualifi ers,” he says. “And with the climate and year-round rid- ing, it is just a paradise.” Esau’s focus now is on the farm and his family, including two horse-cra- zy girls, daughter Abigail (3) and step-daughter Ayla Gauer-Esau (12). But his previous work at horse shows once took him
across the U.S., and those trav- els fostered an appreciation for home. “At one point I was doing 50
weeks a year traveling to horse shows all over the country, from Alaska to South Beach in Florida to the Hamptons in New York,” he adds. “I came home because this is the greatest place. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” Esau also heads deliveries for
Carter’s Hay and Grain, a pop- ular feed store on Olivenhain Boulevard that provides a great hub for communication for horsepeople who may not cross paths otherwise due to their var- ied disciplines. When it comes to beauti- ful scenery, mild climate and an abundance of horses and devoted equestrians, it’s clear: Encinitas and Olivenhain are hard to beat.
