Hoofbeats in the City is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve, advocate for, and teach the equestrian lifestyle in Los Angeles County.

 

We believe that horses and horsemanship offer powerful opportunities for education, connection, and personal growth. Our mission is carried out by a dedicated board of seven volunteer members through a range of key initiatives:

​

Education: We work to make equestrian education accessible to local community members through programs like our signature Horsemanship 101 Youth Program, and by offering scholarships for horse camps, riding instruction, and facilitated equine experiences.

 

Preservation: We are deeply concerned about the loss of the equestrian culture & lifestyle that has long been part of our communities. We strive to ensure these traditions continue to thrive for future generations. We champion policies and land use initiatives that protect and expand equestrian centers, trail access, open recreational spaces, and the rural character of our region.
