I think Osuna Ranch has a Public Relations problem.

If the RSF Board thinks only eight people out of 3,000 know that when they purchased their home in the RSF Covenant, they also received a gated, 24-acre, working, self-funded equestrian property with 40 horses, miles of trails, and beautiful pastures, it’s a problem. You probably have driven by and think it's just one more private barn. We really have some PR work to do. It’s AMAZING and it's OURS!

But there's more. It’s your financial asset that has appreciated in value from our purchase price of $12M in 2006 to $38M (according to just average land value 24 Acres zoned for 50 Horses – but come see for yourself.) Really, that’s one good investment … not sure it's the time to sell for $10M.

You don’t have to own a horse or be a competitive rider to grab your friends and do a dog walk (on leash) around your private Osuna Ranch surrounded by beautiful happy horses! Hello coffee and some well needed open air, no phone needed, healthy living. Also the perfect place to bring your house guests. :)

And yes, if you do want to ride, no better place than learning from a Hall of Fame show jumper Hap Hansen and his winning team. Even if you're not ready for the shows, check the calendar and come meet and cheer on your neighbors at our local equestrian shows in Del Mar, Temecula, or San Juan Capistrano – guessing you will be a happy horse groupie.

Just remember the horses come first. That's why there are huge grass pastures – incredible grooms and lots of land to roam after a body-toning, mind-clearing, riding lesson. And don’t worry it's exactly three minutes to Roger Rowe for school pick up. And did I mention, there’s no additional costs for you to ENJOY YOUR OSUNA RANCH TODAY? Why would we sell this property? It's just time to think up all the amazing things we can do with our property!

Come visit 24/7 at 16332 Via De Santa Fe; or text us for a non official guided tour at (323) 314-6651. Check our RSF Association website for official info. But DM and follow us on Instagram @friends_of_osuna_ranch for more details, info, announcements and events! – Annie Finch

One of the best loved and most decorated authors of children’s books, Marguerite Henry was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1902. At the age of six, she contracted rheumatic fever, which affected her severely until the age of twelve. Not only bed-ridden for long periods, she was kept out of school and isolated from other children for fear of contagion. Pouring herself into reading, she soon showed a flair for writing. The author sold her first story at age 11!

Henry valued historical authenticity, and her books were meticulously researched. Most of them were fact-based, with her imagination filling out the stories. Through the years, Henry’s work earned prestigious Newberry awards. In 1946 she received Newberry Honors for Justin Morgan Had a Horse, the story of an Eighteenth Century American horse breeder who developed the well-known Morgan breed. More Newberry Honors followed in 1948 for Misty of Chincoteague. In 1949, Henry won the Newberry Medal, the top award, for King of the Wind, about the Arabian horse who sired the line of thoroughbreds we celebrate today.

After a lifetime of charming and thrilling children with her many books and stories, Henry died at age 95 in 1997 at her home in Rancho Santa Fe. (Courtesy of the RSF Historical Society)
