“Lake View Terrace is a great horse place… so close to the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, and downtown, yet far enough away that you always feel like you are


on vacation in the country.” —Susan Friend LeTourneur


over the following decades, Lake View Terrace retained more of its equestrian trappings. Today, it is known as a haven for horse owners.


Stuff for Riders Lake View Terrace can best be described as a semi-rural community, where suburban and rural gracefully come together. The community is mostly residential, and a good number of those residences include horses. Horse owners who live in


Lake View Terrace have access to community trails, as well as trails in the nearby Angeles National Forest. The forest's Ranger District borders Lake View Terrace, and includes rides such as the strenuous seven-mile loop from Chilao to Devil's Canyon in the high country, which provides riders with amazing views after a 1,500 foot climb. Less grueling but still a good ride for conditioning is the Buckhorn to Cooper Canyon and Littlerock Creek trail, which leads to the Pacific Crest Trail.


Big Tujunga Canyon, Hansen


Dam Park, Kagel Canyon, and a portion of the Verdugo Mountains are also close to Lake View Terrace, offering miles of picturesque trail riding to residents. For those who prefer to stay


closer to home, Lake View Terrace provides several community arenas. Horse shows of different disciplines take place all over the area at local stables, and events sponsored by local ETI Corral 10 are held in town. These include group trail rides, poker rides,


playdays and horse camping trips, as well as trail cleanup days in the surrounding areas. ETI Corral 10 also has activities for driving enthusiasts. Horse clubs abound in Lake


View Terrace and the immediate area, and the selection is remark- able. Interested in vaulting? The Valley View Vaulters call Lake View Terrace their home and compete in vaulting competitions throughout the U.S. The group is one of the largest vaulting clubs in the U.S., ontinued on page 65
