AN UPDATE ON EL CABALLO PARK AND A REQUEST FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT: For those of you who have followed us since our beginning in 2011, watched us struggle to assure this land would remain a place for animals and the people who care about them: THINGS ARE HAPPENING!! Some of you have probably seen the NATURAL PLAY AREA just south of the Charros Arena. Work is still being completed but you'll notice that children are beginning to see it and play there.... A NEW SIGN indicating the entrance to Daley Ranch from El Caballo Park is now in place. Eventually, a similar sign for El Caballo Park will be erected. AND THE REALLY BIG NEWS FOR HORSE LOVERS: The HORSE ARENA is coming. The ground is being prepared and you'll soon see the arena. Once completed, we will have a grand opening. We will be establishing a set of rules for use of the horse arena, but it will be available to the public. All of these items have been funded in part by the City of Escondido and grants from the County of San Diego and the Escondido Charitable Foundation. However, there is still so much to do. This is a reminder to those of you who wish to continue to support us: PLEASE SEND YOUR DONATIONS TO EL CABALLO PARK CONSERVANCY, P.O. BOX 300371, ESCONDIDO, CA 92030
