The cars that are zooming around the track at the Club, are just a couple miles from the nearby HITS horse show entry! What??? Better yet is that equestrians OR car owners/drivers, can get to their chosen destinations by flying into the nearby Jacqueline Cochran airport. The Eastern Coachella Valley is on the MOVE!

International field at Eldorado Polo Club, Indio
Polo in the Coachella Valley; What’s the BIG deal? When I came to the desert over 30 years ago, I was a groom, hoping to one day be able to play polo professionally. I was overwhelmed by the scope of the Eldorado Polo Club at that time. It seemed to my eyes, that the fields went on and on, horses were everywhere, and Polo was the Valley’s Sport! What a dummy. In my small world of Polo and horses, EVERYONE knew about the club. In reality, when I meet with clients to show them property 30 years later, it is the rare individual that knows about our amazing East Valley horse Industry, and how it contributes to our Coachella Valley economy.

Ma Rouge in Yucca Valley, CA.
Black Rock Campground in Yucca Valley, Calif. What is so magical about this Campground? The first time I saw it, I just could not believe it. It’s like being out in the middle of the high desert, think Joshua Tree Park, yet there is a specific area to park your horse trailer and keep your horses! Sweet.
On your way up, you’ll pass the newly re-opened, (2015), Hawk’s Landing Golf Club. Designed for people who don’t have the time for an entire 18 hole game, it is designed with two 6-hole loops..meant to bring the fun back into the game! Side note here..there is an events co-ordinator at the club so if you have a special event coming up, you might consider this beautiful high desert setting. On to Black Rock…

The Eldorado Polo Club Track
Equestrian Update as we head into 2016 Season: Hard to believe, but the extreme Summer Desert heat is becoming just a memory. Though I have to admit that the last couple days have been pretty humid, and temps are still in the 90’s. My unheated swimming Pool is still at 80-81 degrees so I’m still swimming my daily laps. I’ve started riding the Horses in sets early in the mornings, in preparation for their move to Deer Creek on November 1. I’ve also seen an uptick in local traffic..both on the streets and in the stores and restaurants. Our Equestrian Residents are returning to town and I see rigs on a daily basis, taking their polo ponies out to pasture to rest. Have seen several large hauling vans with Hunter/jumpers arriving early as well. Horse people are preparing for the 2016 season already! It’s a great time to think about looking at Equestrian Farms and Land in our amazing East Valley.

What drives interested buyers to our cooler high desert cities? The temperature number one as it is typically about 15 degrees cooler year round than the low desert floor. The serenity and star filled skies, wide open spaces, SPECTACULAR views, and “small town feel.” are all part of the High Desert Magic. People are always surprised at just how close it is to zip up the hill to do some antiquing in Morongo Valley, or stroll the quaint, artistic shops in Yucca Valley. It is a straight 20-25 minute drive up Hwy 62 from Palm Springs, through Yucca Valley to Joshua Tree National Park. Pappy & Harriets, will take you about 45 minutes from the Eastern lower valley city of La Quinta. Pioneertown Hotel is undergoing an enormous remodel, which is expected to pull even more visitors in from the L.A. area. The drive from L.A. to Yucca Valley takes approx. 2 to 2.5 hours, but when you get there..BOOM! You are in a different world. Slower, quieter, calmer..let your breathe out and your hair down.
