I booked for one day, Sat pass since it's only 1.5 hours away from my home. Glamping option was quite expensive and just wanted experience what it's about.
If other members are going, we can get together, it would be fun!

 

I don't plan on going unless I make a trip out to LA to visit the family during that time, but would then be without the Defender. I did live in Temecula for a few years and enjoyed my time there. I unfortunately never went to any of the horse events at Galway Downs, but did pass by it all the time on my way to the wineries. And supposedly one of the 2028 Olympic horse events might be there too. For anyone going that enjoys wine, Temecula does have some pretty good wine. Enjoy!

 

Just got my invite yesterday as well. Kind of on the fence though, having attended the Malibu one last year...

I think the spirit/ethos of the event is great, but the programming deserves a major rethink... certainly left a lot to be desired.
