The Rancho Los Alamitos Foundation endorses and supports the Framework for Reconciliation adopted by the City of Long Beach on June 23, 2020. The RLA Foundation commits to supporting and modeling an inclusive, equitable, and diverse organization and community. Rancho Los Alamitos is located within Bixby Hill and accessed through the residential security gate at Anaheim and Palo Verde. Admission to

and parking at Rancho Los Alamitos is free-of-charge. Special events that require reservations and have an admission fee are listed on our website. Rancho Los Alamitos is twice listed on the National Register of Historic Places - once as the sacred Tongva village of Povuu’ngna, the traditional birthplace of the native people of the Los Angeles Basin, and, second, for the evolution of its significant historic landscape over time. The site includes traces of the ancestral village, a ranch house with a central core of adobe ca.1800, four acres of lush historic gardens developed during the 1920s and 1930s, and the restored working ranch barnyard of the early-mid 20th century. With the opening of the Rancho Center, the film, new exhibits, and room environments feature the landscape, the people and the place over time and within the context of the development of the region and the state. This exceptional site reveals the early Tongva presence, the Spanish and Mexican periods, the ranching and farming era, and the imprint of 20th-century development. A quintessential place for people to experience the living story of southern California, Rancho Los Alamitos is a microcosm of the region, past to present.

Our English Shire, Preston, was born on June 18, 2012, but in the equine world, some registries assign January 1 as the official birthday for horses, regardless of when they were actually born. This system makes record-keeping much easier. Preston is a little different. Because he was born to our own mare, Valentina, we know his exact foaling date and can recognize his actual birthday each year.

English Shires are one of the world’s largest horse breeds and a type of draft horse. Draft horses are breeds developed for strength and endurance, traditionally used to pull heavy loads, farm equipment, wagons, and freight. Originally developed in England, Shires are renowned for their power and were widely used in agriculture and transportation before the advent of modern machinery.
