E. A. Ranches is built and managed around the belief that the early development of horses--exercise, nutrition, and close attention and care--is fundamental to racing success. 
     Few Thoroughbred operations in California have size and facilities comparable to those of E. A. Ranches. Built on 1,000 acres near Ramona (60 miles east of Del Mar), E. A.. Ranches is designed for maximum spaciousness, safety, efficiency, and beauty. Big pastures, lots of grass, and plenty of room to run. 
     Under the direction of farm manager Marguerite Eliasson, who has been at E. A. Ranches since 1980, the farm handles all equine services, including broodmare care, breeding, foaling, layups, sales prep, and breaking and training. 
     An additional training resource at E. A. Ranches is its three miles of hillside jogging trails. Winding up and down the hills, these beautiful trails provide an excellent physical and mental break in the routine of young horses and have been credited with the successful rehabilitation of numerous older racehorses.
