Fallbrook Rider’s Field is 10 acres of prime riding land tucked away at 1627 South Stage Coach Lane. It wasn’t always 10 acres; the amount given to the club in the mid-1950s was 15 acres. However, five acres were sold at one point to ensure the continuation of the group, which needed funds. No one is sure who donated the land, so perhaps it was an anonymous gift. The property includes more than 20 temporary stalls, two large arenas and a cross country course with some wat...

Wildfires are on the increase. The incredible fact is that most wildfires can be prevented. Campers can help Cal Fire by building their campfires away from overhanging branches, steep slopes, logs, dry grass and leaves. People should clear a 10-foot-wide circle from flammable material around their campfire, always keep a bucket of water close by and never leave a fire unattended. A sudden wind could come up and spread the fire when no one is there. Campfires should be extinguished, not buried, by mixing water and soil with... Full story
