FACILITY

Cellar Door Farm is located in Sylmar, California, tucked against the foothills of the Angeles National Forest and just minutes from the 210 Freeway. Despite its convenient location near the 118, 210, 5, and 405 freeways, the property feels wonderfully removed from the pace of the city. Surrounded by mountain views and miles of open space, it offers a quiet environment where both horses and riders can focus on their work.

Our facility is designed to support both daily training and long-term horse welfare. Horses enjoy multiple turnouts of varying sizes, access to a Eurociser, a large arena with premium footing, competition quality jumps, and a shaded viewing gazebo for lessons and spectators, and spacious surroundings that encourage movement and relaxation.

In addition to our main arena, the property offers access to several additional riding arenas and hundreds of miles of trails extending directly into the Angeles National Forest. Whether preparing for competition or enjoying a quiet hack through the hills, horses benefit from a varied environment that keeps both body and mind engaged.

Located just minutes from Hansen Dam Equestrian Center, Cellar Door Farm offers convenient access to local schooling and rated competitions while providing a peaceful place to come home to between shows.
