Philosophy and horse background of facility/owners/managers: Alice Giovannini’s love for horses has inspired her commitment to maintaining the best environment for horse and rider that is possible. Alice and Andy bred award winning Peruvian Pasos for many years before converting La Jolla into a boarding and training facility specializing in Dressage. We have recently added Event training to the mix with the addition of two event trainers.
Christine sees La Jolla running like a well oiled machine and helps to maintain the family run atmosphere by keeping clear communications between trainers, clientele and management.
