Welcome to Vista Palomar Riders….. Started in 1946 and it is one of the oldest horse clubs in California.
VPR's Club Motto - "To promote good fellowship and recreation among horse loving people of this community and encourage them to own, ride and enjoy saddle horses. To enhance their knowledge and enjoyment of saddle horses, and to participate as a group in rides, outings, parades, horse shows and other equine related activities."
VPR has always been dedicated to promoting and protecting the equestrian lifestyle. The members' of today values are the same as the original founders values- they cherish their relationship with their community and their beautiful horses.
VPR embraces all forms of riding - English, Western, Show, Trail, Horse Camping on site and off site. Whether you are a beginner or advanced rider, we have something for you.
Our 14-acre Property has an impressive show facility, a modern clubhouse, 2 renovated arenas, two round pens for turnout, pipe stalls, plenty of parking for day use and direct access to the San Luis Rey riverbed trails.

CALL FOR ACTION!!
Help Save Our Trails!
The Bonsall Community Park is set to be developed, but equestrians have been excluded from all design phases, despite the park's central location in a network of over 18 miles of existing historic trails.
We need your voices to ensure our trail system remains accessible and to advocate for necessary equestrian parking.
Without this support, we risk losing access to trails we currently enjoy, along with the promised expansion that has been in discussion for 20 years.
Your participation is vital! If you have questions or need more information about the project, please reach out. Together, we can make a difference!
Information will be coming for those of you who can attend a County Board Meeting, and for those of you who can write letters to each of the County Supervisors.
Here are two sample letters along with the Supervisor email addresses. You can copy and paste one of the letters or use that information to write your own. Thank you.
We know we can count on you to promote our equestrian way of life...
