Opened in 1968 as the Rancho California Track and Training Center, this expansive property spans 242 acres and a lifelong legacy of Equestrian excellence. Widely regarded as a premier multipurpose event center for Equestrians of every discipline from across the country, Galway Downs holds true to its mission of quality and Equestrian tradition. 

In 2010, with the heartfelt promise of renovation and new life (while embracing the natural beauty and history surrounding the property), Galway Downs was purchased by the Southern Californian Smith family. So today, as before, and for years to come, Galway Downs is a standing, growing beacon of unyielding bonds, family, Nature, life, and truth.

Host your event in The Village surrounded by century old oak trees, flowing creeks and waterfalls, in stunning meadows surrounded by rolling hills or in our majestic Carriage House. Prefer the rustic charm? Come celebrate in our rustic, refurbished Barn which has been preserved to its natural state without losing it’s beautiful, weathered charm. No matter where you choose, Galway Downs is the perfect setting for any event.
