Get ready to enjoy equestrian sports at their finest in sunny Southern California! While we’re still waiting on formal approval from the City of Los Angeles and the IOC to host equestrian at Galway Downs, about 85 miles south of LA in Temecula, the venue has been named as the proposed staging site for the 2028 Olympics by the LA28 committee.
This week as the Olympic flag made its way from Paris to Los Angeles in ceremonial fashion, local NBC reporters stopped by to get a preview of the 242-acre Galway Downs and what it has to offer its incoming Olympians and spectators.
Galway Downs is, of course, not the sole attraction factor for Temecula, which also boasts a robust wine tourism culture and is also located within an hour or so of the beach.
We don’t yet know exactly how equestrian will exist in LA. We’ll have more on what we know about these sports in the next Olympics coming your way soon, but for now you can catch up via some previous news articles shared here on EN:
