Horsetowns: Lake View Terrace
What makes Lake View Terrace a terrific ‘Horsetown?’
Stacie Wight, Lake View Terrace SS Performance Horses
I love it here! I just moved my training
barn to the area about a year ago, and it was a perfect move! You have everything— whatever type of riding you like to do, it's here, from Western pleasure, hunt- ers, jumpers, dressage and reining. I can walk right out the back gate of Middle Ranch where I train out of and trail ride all day.
Susann Regalmuto, Lake View Terrace Regal Equestrian
Lake View Terrace is home of so many dif-
ferent equestrian facilities. We really have it all, from dressage to hunter jumper, Western, vault- ing or polo and endless miles of trail riding in the Foothills and along Hansen Dam. T e biggest jewel is for sure the beautiful facility, Middle Ranch. I`m fortunate enough to be one of the resident trainers and love the fact that I only live fi ve minutes away!
Lyles Perkins, Lake View Terrace Courtship Ranch
It's the equine versatility. It's the easy access
to trails that aren't clogged with bikers and hikers. It’s the variety of terrain here—from the tree-shaded water trails, the open access roads through the wash to the single tracks up in the Angeles National Forest. It's the
neighborhood where you fi nd horses in the majority of the backyards. I think the nearest place with a popula- tion density with as many horse owners would be Norco. It's the socioeconomic mix that is great, too, from that backyard horse to the A-circuit. We are equal in our desire to have horses and to enjoy them. Come out for a trail ride and you will see the charros, the mules, the minis, the driving horses, the gaited hors- es, the Aztecas, the Warmbloods, the OTTBs,... all enjoying diff erent rides in Hansen Dam or the Angeles.
Suzanne Weed, Lake View Terrace Current Success
I was introduced to Lake View Terrace at
the age of 6. I joined the Junior Mounted Police and rode with Meyer’s and Wills. Back then, the 210 Freeway did not exist! We soon had to relocate as the freeway was planned to run right through the barn. As I grew older and boarded my horse in La Crescent, I would still ride in the Hansen Dam all the time. My husband and I purchased our fi rst house in LVT in 1984. T ree years later, we bought horse property in LVT, and in 2008 I started my Equine/Canine therapy business. I have seen many changes and growth in Lake View Terrace. I’m happy to say I’ve been riding in this area for the past
46 years, been a resident for 30 and business owner for 6. WOW, where does the time go!
Susan Friend LeTourneur, Lake View Terrace Goldspirit Ranch
Kagel Canyon is a hidden part of Lake
View Terrace, surrounded by great mountains and lots of trails. It is magical to ride in the mountains and in Hansen Dam. My facility, Goldspirit Farm, is nestled in these mountains with 11 acres to play on. Lake View Terrace is a great horse place because it so close to the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, and downtown, yet is far enough away that you always feel like you are on vacation in the country.
Lars Holmberg & Ulf Wadeborn, Lake View Terrace Holmberg & Wadeborn Dressage
We came to Lake View Terrace in 1990 when Middle Ranch had just opened its doors. Lars was one of the fi rst trainers to move into Mid- dle Ranch. Lake View Terrace is a great horse com- munity because of its diversity in equestrian activities and its many diff erent trail options. It is also easily accessible from Los Angeles and really feels like one is out of the city without a long commute.
