Dispute continues over boarding at OC Fair equestrian center; some locked out of arenas for exercising horses
A 30-day deadline has passed for equestrians boarding horses at the OC Fair & Event Center’s stables to sign a new rental agreement, which includes a hike in prices, and a new pass system has been implemented restricting access to arenas for training and exercising the animals to those who are in compliance, administration officials said.
Several boarders unhappy with the rent increases being phased in and other details in the new rental agreements sent out in May have refused to sign or have submitted signed versions with the edits they want. In late June they received 30-day notices to sign the new agreement or vacate the property.
Now that access to the equestrian center’s arenas is being restricted, they said they worry for the health of their horses.
