Horsefeathers: Enhancements and Updates for Equestrian Facilities
Lisa Everett, Equestrian Manager • January 29, 2025
Exciting upgrades are underway, improving riding areas and facilities to enhance the equestrian experience.
Equestrian Facilities Projects:
- The water feature has been transformed into an inverted bank and is now open for riding. Plans are in progress to restore a water feature to the infield in the future through collaboration between the Equestrian Committee and management.
- The trail course has been relocated to the area beyond the dressage courts.
- Barrels have been repositioned to the opposite side of the infield, enabling riders to gallop the pattern without impacting dressage court footing.
- Dressage Court 2 and the jump arena have undergone professional footing enhancements, significantly improving their condition.
- Dressage Court 2 has been restored to full size, while Court 3 is partially operational with ongoing footing work.
- Round pen panels have been delivered, with reinstallation scheduled shortly.
Roofing Project:
- Roofing repairs for Barns D, E, and F are complete. Fascia replacement will be painted after the entire project concludes.
- Barns A, B, and C repairs are scheduled from January 31 to February 11.
- Barns G, H, and the maintenance shop repairs are scheduled from February 17 to February 22.

As the holiday season approaches, the spirit of giving shines brightly in Ramona thanks to volunteers like Richard Bender. He is on the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet Board of Directors and on the Editorial Board for the Valley News.
While most commuters from Ramona head to the coast to go to the office or school, one San Diego Country Estates resident takes the drive for a unique purpose: coaching Australian Football.
The Landscape/Open Space Department continues to make steady progress on its year-round fire-fuel management program, clearing vegetation, widening trails, and removing hazardous trees to keep our open spaces safe, healthy, and enjoyable.
