The City of San Diego is searching for a long-term lessee to operate one of the city’s hidden gems. The Canyonside Equestrian Center is located on city property in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve and is leased out as a riding, training, and boarding facility for horses. “I think the main difference is there’s a happiness here now that wasn’t here for a long time,” said interim operator, Gail Young. “Everybody is very happy at the transition and what it’s become now and so I’m happy with it. It’s been a challenge to be an interim manager, but it’s been very rewarding also.” CBS 8 visited the facility in February when horse owners had enough of what they said was poor management and upkeep of the stables, citing complaints of poor-quality hay and piles of manure that were not being removed in a timely manner.
