Rancho San Miguel Press Release
SAN MIGUEL, Calif. (Oct. 11, 2024) —A new autumn date and an expanded stallion roster will greet attendees at Rancho San Miguel’s Open House & Stallion Show on Saturday, November 16. Current and prospective Thoroughbred owners and breeders are invited to participate in the free program, which will be hosted from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
The San Luis Obispo County farm, which will commemorate its 25th anniversary as one of California’s most respected Thoroughbred breeding centers in 2025, will open the gates to its 250-acre site for the second time this year. Similar events were hosted in January 2023 and January 2024, prior to those respective breeding seasons.
“By moving our Open House earlier on the calendar to November, well ahead of the upcoming breeding season, we’re hoping to give regional mare owners a helpful headstart on making their all-important breeding decisions for 2025,” said Rancho San Miguel owner Tom Clark. “As part of that effort, we’re also proud to introduce two new stellar stallion choices to our line-up for breeders.”
New to the Rancho San Miguel roster for the 2025 breeding season are multiple graded stakes winner Brickyard Ride, by leading California sire Clubhouse Ride, and the black-type runner The Street Fighter, by Street Boss. Each will be available for inspection during the Open House.
Also parading in the Stallion Show will be veteran sires Danzing Candy, Editorial, Northern Causeway, Richard’s Kid, Sir Prancealot (Ire) and Surf Cat, 2024 newcomer Bolden and the widely popular third-year stallion Mo Forza, the latter of whom led all California-based stallions by number of mares bred in 2023 and 2024.
Open House attendees will be treated to a catered lunch, with fun giveaways and a stallion season raffle included in the activities. There will also be opportunities for participants to view several yearlings and horses of mixed age currently available for private purchase, and to network with other horse owners.
