and is made up of members from all over the Southern California area. Polo? The polo club at MonteVerde Trails Ranch hosts the California Polo Club, as well as a host of other activities ranging from a livery stable for trail riders to youth riding groups like the Blue Shadows and California Rangers, an equestrian-oriented service organization that was founded in 1940. Initially started to supplement the City of San Fernando’s police department, the Rangers developed into a service organization that provides support to a variety of programs and also par- ticipates in ceremonial and memorial color and honor guard activities, as well as parades and organized trail rides. “Come out for a trail ride and you will see quite a variety,” says Lyles


Perkins, owner of Courtship Ranch. “The charros, the mules, the minis, the driving horses, the gaited horses, the Aztecas, the Warmbloods ... all enjoying different rides in Hansen Dam or the Angeles.” As if all this wasn’t enough, Lake View Terrace is also the location for a


premiere equestrian facility called Middle Ranch, which consists of three ranches within its 100-plus acre parameters: First Ranch, Main Ranch, and North Ranch. The different ranches cater to show horse owners as well as trail riders and others, and feature boarding and training. Dressage trainers Lars Holmberg and Ulf Wadeborn have been at Middle Ranch since 1990. “Lake View Terrace is a great horse community because of its diver- sity in equestrian activities and its many different trail options,” says Wadeborn. “It is also easily accessible from Los Angeles and really feels like one is out of the city without a long commute.” Fellow Middle Ranch dressage trainer Susan Regalmuto agrees. “We really have it all,” she says. “From dressage to hunter jumper,


Western, vaulting or polo and endless miles of trail riding in the foothills and along Hansen Dam.”
