Recreational and competitive activities like this should not be sold out to developers trying to make a profit. I’ve been to many events here and take pride knowing the excellence fostered and encouraged in our surrounding areas. I’m sure it will continue to be a popular venue for spectators and competitors alike.
The Del Mar Horsepark is a one of a kind facility. Removing horses and horse shows from the park would dramatically reduce the opportunity for local schooling shows for kids who can’t afford to travel to Orange County or Thermal for costly “A” shows. It would also significantly damage the economic potential for equestrian trainers as a lack of local shows will reduce the ability for the cultivation of new students to practice and become more committed to the sport. Del Mar Horsepark is iconic. It would damage the character of the area to close this facility
San Diego is home to thousands of young equestrians who use the Del Mar horse park to train and show. It’s a positive source of income for the county. Do not close this vital asset! Keep the Horsepark open and operating.
Del Mar Horsepark is the heart of the equine community of San Diego. Del Mar Horsepark is known world wide and brings in millions of dollars for the local businesses and hotels. I respectfully request the Del Mar Horsepark stay as it is and keep the equine community where they've been for years.
I love the Horse Park. I have worked many horseshows there. I have shown there! The horses of San Diego County need it. Our US Olympians ride here! The horses are losing their homes/stables and this is a beautiful venue. Beautiful show facility. Great parking for the SD Fair. Top notch riding and show training facility! Economically viable Horse facility accessible to the public. San Diego is losing more and more and more places for our beautiful equines to live. It is a beautiful facility and it was be a economic shame to make it houses and condos!!!! Do not tear it down!!!
