Horseshows

DIHP horseshow update from the desert!

Jumpers are preparing for the desert show in Thermal, CA.

DIHP horseshow update from the desert!  So, first off, everybody here in the Coachella Valley always referred to the Desert International Horse Park (DIHP) as simply the HITS horseshow.  I guess it still is referred to as that, but the main thing is the the horseshow in Thermal, California is readying for the 2024 season.  The Horseshow has continued to grow in size and valley power, bringing hundreds of horses, their owners and trainers, grooms, families and of course the thousands of visitors that will head over to watch the competitions throughout the show jumping season.  If you are looking to buy or sell your land, residential or equestrian property, give me a call at 760-285-3578.

The sport of show jumping is part of why DIHP has a place on the worldwide stage.  What an international sport!  Many different levels of competition are offered, including consistent options available all season to move your horse or yourself up to higher levels.  There will be world class course designers to design throughout the arenas in the park.

The FEI show jumping program continues at a variety of levels with up to 1 million Grand Prix awards.  On the National show jumping program front, there is speed action, open classic and National Grand Prix with fabulous prizes!  For the youngsters, there is a weekly $7500 DIHP 10 & under Futurity showcases horses still slightly green at the higher levels.  I have several spectacular properties for equestrians, some of them are not publicly listed, but can be shown.  If you are looking to buy or sell an equestrian property in the Coachella Valley, give me a call at 760-285-3578.  Take the tour below for this 10 acre farm in a gated equestrian community approx. 10 minutes from the showgrounds!  $2,995,000

Coachella Land & Equestrian Property Update

Horses and the Coachella Valley just fit together!

Coachella Land & Equestrian Property Update:  Lots of activity in the Coachella Valley when it comes to Land and Equestrian Properties.  Land values are pretty consistent, although the selection of parcels continues to narrow.  Equestrian Farms are difficult to find right now, although season should loosen up the market..hopefully.  The natural fit between horses & the Coachella Valley horse activities, working Farms, and Land with Equestrian potential is obvious.  Our affordable, open spaces, easy access to riding trails, as well as our Internationally renowned HITS Horseshow, Thermal and the Empire and Eldorado Polo Clubs continue to draw interest and investments from Equestrians.  I’ve been a local Equestrian for over 30 years, and can get you any info. you need..760-285-3578.

Equestrian Property Specialist

Equestrian Property Specialist 760-285-3578

Equestrian Property Specialist 760-285-3578

What IS an Equestrian Property Specialist???  Being a “Specialist” in anything usually means that person knows more about that subject than most of the rest of us do.  To call myself a Short Sale Specialist, I had to get the required certifications, attend classes, but most of all…I had to List, negotiate and CLOSE dozens and dozens of Short Sales.  I did.  What does it require to call yourself an Equestrian Property Specialist?  Years of experience with Horses first and foremost.  There is simply NO way to learn about what a horse woman requires to maintain a horse properly, other than to live it.  I made my living as a professional Polo Player for 18 years, basing my horse operations out of our local Eldorado Polo Club in Indio, California.
