Los Angeles Equestrian Center


Since breaking ground for the first barn in 1981, the Los Angeles Equestrian Center has become known as the center of the horseworld in Los Angeles proper, as well as in Southern California in general.if not throughout the country. A spectacular facility such as LAEC could only have come from the imagination of a true horseman, one that lived and breathed horses. . It took the dreams of renowned horsemen such as Don Burt and Eddie Milligan, coupled with the business operations and management talent of a self-proclaimed "horse show daddy," better known as Al Garcia, to get the $10 million project from the drawing board and onto the actual 72-acre parcel located in the City of Los Angeles' Recreation and Park system.

Today, in 2011, the LAEC facility shines brighter than ever as a world class horse show complex. Complete with 45 major horse events in multiple disciplines and breeds every year, the facility is also home to top trainers who operate their businesses from the LAEC. There is both long term and temporary boarding with a total of 500 boarding stalls, offering training in most every discipline, horse rentals, an onsite tack store plus an equestrian gift store, and many attractive banquet facilities.

One of the main attractions to the facility is the Equidome, a deluxe indoor arena with seating for 3500. Many years are filled with memories for exhibitors, trainers, owners and spectators who have attended countless events in the Equidome. It makes for a one of a kind show experience for all who encounter it. In all of its glory, the Equidome is still available to boarding and training clients at the facility, when not leased out for an event or function.

Location, Location, Location! The LAEC is the perfect locale for events, including horse shows, banquets, corporate functions, weddings, and parties. Whether the event is to be large or small, intimate or grand, the facilities are second to none. The LAEC is accessible from two major freeways in Los Angeles, making it function well for transportation needs. Perhaps one of the most cherished features of the LAEC is that it is tucked away adjacent to the secluded area of Griffith Park, with all of its scenery, lush landscape and rich history.yet in minutes, visitors can arrive at many of the area's finest local hotels, restaurants and attractions.

Events are the talk of the town throughout the year at the facility.

The LAEC has been the host venue for the Annual Pasadena Tournament of Roses EquestFest. EquestFest is a special exhibition in celebration of the equestrian units in the Pasadena Rose Parade. EquestFest at LAEC gave horse lovers and the general public an up close and personal glimpse into the equestrian groups who were selected to ride and participate in this year's parade. Audiences were treated to many breeds performing drill routines, dancing, trick riding and more. EquestFest was televised live on RFD-TV as well. Other well received events throughout the year include the Fiesta of the Spanish Horse, The Hollywood Charity Show with the William Shatner Charity Event, and the CALNET Disabled Riders Horse Show.

For many years, the LAEC has cultivated the love of great horsemanship, the sport of equestrian competition and the general fascination of horses in people of all ages. For the horse-crazy child who begs her parents for a pony for her birthday, to the up and coming non-pro Olympic hopeful.dreams become reality everyday for those who enjoy any experience at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. The facility's General Manager, George Chatigny, extends a personal invitation to all equestrians - be it the seasoned exhibitor, or the occasional trail rider, or even the "horse show daddy." Tradition lives on today - come be a part of the equestrian heritage at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center!
