ABOUT GALWAY DOWNS

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.

TOP LEVEL EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES

Galway Downs features over 500 fully-matted permanent stalls, 13 geotextile arenas, and over 4 miles of international-level cross country tracks.

DRESSAGE, EVENTING, JUMPERS, and MORE

Galway Downs is the permanent home of Galway Downs Eventing and Pacific Coast Dressage, operated by Kellerhouse Presents, as well as the Temecula Valley National series presented by Nilforushan Equisport Events.
