The Real Trails of Coto de Caza - Trail Ride Tuesday

Behind the gates of Coto de Caza lies direct access to an amazing trail system for horses, hikers, and mountain bikers. On this sunny spring day some of the girls got out for a little trail ride - beginning at Elizabeth's house in Los Ranchos Estates and taking us through the back of the Coto Equestrian Center, across Coto Drive - (big thanks to all of you who stop for horses to pass - you are awesome!) past the Coto Sports Park, up the trail head into the native coastal sage scrub, then down the trail into the custom estates in The Woods, through the Oak Trees, then back up the unspoiled hills. Today we saw a Roadrunner (no Axel Dynamite in hand, thankfully) and a huge Red Tailed Hawk. No rattlers, although it is the season. Tons of blooming flowers - bright yellow wild mustard, the Lord's Candle, wild rosemary, thistles just beginning to form deep purple blooms, bushy yellow sweet broom and the pervasive Witches' Hat - I call it Witche's Broom - that deep orange stringy stuff that attacks the wild buckwheat - of the ecosystem we live in!
If you are looking for equestrian home in Coto de Caza or any other equestrian community, give me a call. If you are looking for a local trainer, you can do no better than Theresa Petyo and Turning Point Farms.
Got Horse! Come on out! Give me a call to make arrangements! Leslie 949-678-3373
