PREMIER EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES HOSTING EVENTS AT THE TOP LEVEL OF THE SPORT
EQUESTRIAN HUB IN THE MOUNTAINS OF TEMECULA
Originally opened in 1968 as a racehorse training facility, this expansive property spans 242 acres in the heart of Temecula wine country and holds true to its mission of quality and equestrian tradition.
In 2010 Galway Downs was purchased by the Smith family with the heartfelt promise of renovation and new life while embracing the natural beauty and history surrounding the property. So today, as before and for years to come, Galway Downs is a beacon of unyielding bonds, family, nature, life, and truth.
