Horse boarding and shows will be suspended at Del Mar Horsepark in 2021, according to an announcement by the Del Mar Fairgrounds that surprised trainers, show organizers and other local equestrians.
The suspension of horse shows at the horse park allows the board of directors that oversees the state-owned fairgrounds, which owns the park, to evaluate “the necessary investment required to meet water quality requirements for equestrian activities,” according to a news release. The horse park is located next to the San Dieguito River, about two miles east of the fairgrounds.
