Barton Thoroughbreds has been operating for over four years, after opening its gates for business in August 2017. The farm is situated in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, just thirty minutes from Santa Barbara and two and a half hours from Santa Anita Park. The near two hundred acres in a moderate climate provide the ideal space for boarding and raising thoroughbreds in California.

Barton Thoroughbreds is led by farm manager Kevin Dickson. Kevin was the manager of Vessels Stallion Farm for twenty-one years until assuming the role of farm manager for Ocean Breeze Ranch for two years. Kevin’s experience, along with education from Colorado State University studying Equine Science with an emphasis in reproduction, proves to be an asset in the development of Barton Thoroughbreds as the premier farm in California.

Barton Thoroughbreds offers boarding, breeding, foaling, sales prep, and lay-up care. The lay-up side is led by an experienced horseman from Santa Anita Park who has over twenty years of experience in caring for thoroughbreds in training. The forty-five stall barn on the lay-up side is equipped with an EquiVibe stall used for rehabilitating horses. The farm has also invested in a state- of-the- art eurocizer and sand paddocks to aid in recovery. The most recent investment has been an aqua treadmill to even further the rehab effectiveness for these thoroughbreds. Multiple grass paddocks allow for quality turn- out time for your thoroughbreds as well.

Aside from offering unparalleled care for lay-ups, Barton Thoroughbreds is pleased to stand the following stallions: Bodexpress, Cat Burglar, Dads Caps, Misremembered, Tap Back and Champ Pegasus. Bodexpress was new to the roster for 2021 and had an amazing start with over 70 mares to his book. The son of Bodemeister won the GI Clark at Churchill Downs, as well as breaking the track record at Gulfsream West at a mile. Cat Burglar is a Baffert-trained multiple graded-placed, black-type winner by Unbridled’s Song out of a strong female family who stood his fourth year in 2021. Dads Caps offers the speed influence in the roster, as the son of Discreet Cat won or placed in 10 graded sprint stakes and won the GI Carter Handicap twice in New York, retiring with earnings of $1.1 million. His yearlings the past 2 years have done exceedingly well at the Fasig-Tipton California Sale. Misremembered is also standing at Barton Thoroughbreds, who is another Baffert-trained GI winning millionaire and track record setter. Tap Back will be new to the roster for 2022, who is a son of Einsten (BRZ) out of a Tapit mare, and was an extremely precocious two-year-old, breaking his maiden at Del Mar in a Maiden Special Weight and winning the Golden State Juvenile Stakes (Black Type). Lastly, the Grade I winner and million-dollar earner Champ Pegasus, by Fusaichi Pegasus out of the graded stakes winner Salt Champ (ARG), also stands at Barton Thoroughbreds.

As summer comes to a close, we have a lot be thankful for in 2021. Although the COVID pandemic continues to affect many of our daily routines, race tracks have safely reopened, meets have resumed and earlier this year we added another crop of perspective race horses to the state’s Cal-Bred program. Anyone actively engaged in California’s thoroughbred breeding industry is acutely aware that the number of mares bred year after year is trending downward. While this appears concerning, it also highlights solutions and opportunities for our industry to grow. From my perspective, it’s critical that we begin to not just increase the number of equine athletes available in California but also build a strong foundation for new and younger individuals to enter the sport, both in ownership on the track and our state’s breeding herd. Although we have over 20 years of experience in the industry, Julia and I humbly and proudly represent the next generation of California thoroughbred breeders and owners. As a couple with a young family, we are eager to do our part to ensure this industry that we love dearly is here for our children. The experience and lessons learned by those who have gone before us are invaluable but must be coupled with a willingness to innovate by those who are taking the reins. Each and every segment of our industry will need to participate in this endeavor and we at Daehling Ranch stand ready to do our part. We continue to take every opportunity to improve the operation and position of Daehling Ranch to better serve thoroughbred breeders and owners in California. This includes upgrading our facility, the farm’s infrastructure and providing more direct care for our pastures that serve as the backbone of our nutritional and feeding program. Anyone visiting our farm will frst notice the abundance of lush irrigated pasture we have available to allow horses to simply be horses. We provide a setting that allow horses to grow and ultimately develop a good mindset that will better prepare them for their career as a race horse. We are blessed to be located along the Consumnes River which provides a sustainable source of groundwater to irrigate our pastures, even in the face of drought. All horses are supplemented with a grain ration developed by an equine nutritionist to ensure proper nutrients, protein and probiotics are received daily. Julia and I have also worked hard to help support and expand the number of well-bred stallions available in Northern California. First and foremost, credit and thanks must be given to all our stallion owners who are working hard to support and back their equine partners with quality mares. We would be remiss to not take a brief opportunity to also mention several of our new stallions we are pleased to offer for the frst time or who have recently been added to our lineup. Rumpus Cat, who entered stud in 2020, was recognized by Blood Horse as one of California’s best-bred stallions. Rumpus Cat is by champion and Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense out of Sweet Catomine who won over a million dollars and fve graded stakes races in her career. Rumpus Cat’s frst crop of foals are impressive and predominantly out of stakes won, placed or producing dams. Daehling Ranch also has the honor of standing Faversham who is the only full brother to two-time horse of the year California Chrome. Chrome’s $14 million success throughout his career is backed by a strong pedigree offered through Faversham. Their sire Lucky Pulpit and dam Love the Chase were both recognized as two-time leaders in California.

We are also pleased to announce that beginning in 2022 we will have the opportunity to offer Pontiff who was recently relocated from Washington state. Pontiff’s pedigree speaks for itself. By Giants Causeway and out of the stakes producing dam Preach, Pontiff offers the opportunity to harness genetics directly responsible for his half-brother Pulpit. Triple Crown winner Justify is in Pontiff’s immediate family along with Tapit. Last but not least, Florida-bred Sparticle who was the top progeny for Field Commission in 2018 has entered stud at Daehling Ranch. Before entering stud, Sparticle set the track record for six furlongs in a six length win at Penn National Race Track. These stallions join the venerable Jersey Town who continually ranks high on the leaderboard along with Mesa Thunder (a proven Sky Mesa colt), City Wolf, Coach Bob, and Fullbridled. Please visit our website to see more information on these stallions and their pedigrees as you begin to make breeding decisions for 2022. We are honored to carry on the farm’s foundation built by Julia’s father Joe and his passion for our great industry which he so willingly passed on to his family.

E.A. Ranches, the expansive 1,000 acre state-of the-art Toroughbred farm in the fertile hills above Ramona, was built and managed around founder Ernest Auerbach’s belief that “optimal conditions during the early development of horses are fundamental to racing success.” Following this vision of her late father, daughter Heidi Farkash and husband John are now leading E.A. Ranches into the next decades. Teir new focus is centered around ofering the very best mare and foal care, weanling and yearling boarding, expert sales prep, lay-ups and rehab, as well as dignifed equine retirement.

E.A. Ranches ofers lush, green pastures for mares and foals, weanlings and yearlings. Te spacious, rolling felds lined with dark wooden fences remind visitors immediately of Kentucky, and provide broodmares and growing foals of all ages with lots of nutritious grass and plenty of room to run and play. E.A. Ranches adopted the practice of the world’s best Toroughbred farms to integrate “chaperones” into the dedicated weanling and yearling pastures. Tese gentle, retired broodmares and geldings serve as peace keepers and teach their respective group of age-matched fllies or colts the essential horse manners. In addition, the team at E.A. Ranches prides itself that daily handling of the youngsters is a priority and continues through their entire weanling and yearling years.

Sales prep is a fne art that the team at E.A. Ranches has cultivated to perfection. Whether weanling, yearling, racing prospect or broodmare, the main elements of nutrition, grooming, farrier work, exercise and show training are skillfully matched to prepare the horses for their best during the sale. Close cooperation with the most reputable consignors for each respective sales venue ensured that over the past 40 years many horses sales-prepped by E.A. Ranches have successfully graduated from all major sales nationwide.

Lay-ups & Rehab Many prominent trainers and owners regularly send horses to E.A. Ranches for lay-ups and appreciate the choice of generous individual pastures, smaller grass paddocks, or runs with special footing in various sizes. Often they also rely on the highly skilled staf to care for post-surgical horses that require not only fulltime stall rest but also the meticulous administration of medications and treatments. E.A. Ranches ofers the full range of conservative techniques as well as cutting edge rehab methods, adjustments and diagnostics by an experienced vet.

Retirement Racehorse retirement is a long-standing tradition at E.A. Ranches, started by its late founder, Ernest Auerbach, and continuing in the present. For owners who “want to do the right thing” by giving their old broodmare or injured racer a dignifed retirement, a couple of spacious pastures are set aside. Te retirees are checked upon twice daily during feeding time, and can live out their lives in a natural environment of stunning beauty while being well cared for.
