Tribute Zsa Zsa Gabor
How Zsa Zsa Came to Own the Southern California Equestrian Center
Zsa Zsa Gabor, the iconic Hollywood actress and socialite, had a deep and abiding love for horses that would ultimately lead her toward the Southern California Equestrian Center, an institution deeply rooted in the equestrian scene of the region. Gabor’s fascination with horses began at an early age, as she found solace and joy in their majestic presence. She would spend countless hours riding and caring for these magnificent creatures, forging a bond that would shape her life.
As Gabor became more immersed in the equestrian world of Southern California, she earned a reputation for her exquisite horsemanship and a natural flair for showmanship. Her undeniable charm and magnetic personality drew attention wherever she went, and soon enough, she found herself deeply involved in horse shows and competitions, captivating audiences with her grace and elegance.
It was during this time that Gabor’s path intersected with what is now known as the Southern California Equestrian Center. With our lush green pastures and state-of-the-art facilities, our center had become a hub for equestrian enthusiasts and a symbol of excellence in horse care. The Ranch’s founders recognized Gabor’s passion and expertise, and developed a close relationship with her, admiring her dedication to the animals and her unwavering commitment to their well-being.
As fate would have it, an opportunity arose for Gabor to acquire the property in 1990, which she renamed Silver Fox Barn in honor of her beloved horse Silverfox, cementing her legacy in the equestrian world. With her unwavering determination and business acumen, she seized the chance.
