nization holds events in the area throughout the year. Another equine-related organiza- tion that makes its presence known in the area is Professional’s Choice, producers of sports medicine prod- ucts for both horses and humans. Based in El Cajon, Professional’s Choice is very involved with the equine community in eastern San Diego County. For people devoted to the eques-
trian lifestyle, El Cajon, Lakeside and other horse communities in Eastern San Diego County are hard to beat, for many reasons. “El Cajon is still pretty much a small town, and it is close to both the beach and the mountains,” says Susan Meitz. “It’s not smoggy, and although it gets hot in the summer, we always have a nice breeze. That’s why I like it so much here.”
Wide-ranging Interests Horse activities in this climatic wonderland are as diverse as the topography itself. From well-or- ganized show competitions in all
disciplines to independent, remote trail access in the remarkable Cuyamaca State Park, this region offers a full menu. Not to mention, world-class competitions in Del Mar and beach riding in the South Bay areas are close, too. Gilroy native Bethany Pappani- Judd and her husband, Len, moved to the area 17 years ago and they treasure the natural setting in which they canoperate their enter- prise, Distinction Ranch. “Raising horses in as natural an environ- ment as possible is critical to the process that we engage in when working with horses,” says Bethany. “There is no substitute for the near- ly 500-acre private ranch we are located at. Our horses, as well as our clients’ horses, live within herd groups in expansive pastures and large paddocks. “The trail system is extensive, allowing us to start colts that we have prepared physically and men- tally by ponying them along with other horses, with and without tack for miles or just take a fun hack out.”
