Candace's Story

Life Hi, I don't have anything really exotic to tell you, but after leaving Chico in 1980, I went to work for a horse show and race horse training facility in Ranch Murieta, which started me on the path I am still following. I became very involved in graphic design (major in college) and horses (big surprise) and am now the director of print and graphics for Santa Anita Park, which is a Thoroughbred racetrack in Southern California. I have a crew of 20, and we produce all the design and print projects for Santa Anita, Golden Gate Fields and Bay Meadows in No. Cal, and select projects for the other 12 tracks our parent company, MEC, owns. I do get to travel to the other tracks across the country from time to time, but most of my time is spent here in Arcadia. I met my husband 19 years ago when I was working for Murieta Equestrian Center, he is a Thoroughbred Race Horse trainer here at Santa Anit...Expand for more
a. As a sideline, we rehabilitate and retrain the retired racehorses and find them good homes. So, if any of you are interested in adopting an ex-racehorse, please let me know. Our "heard" numbers six at this time, 4 Thoroughbreds and 2 Quarter Horses. My parents sold their horse stables and house in Chico last year and have re-located to Spokane, Washington, Chico just got too big for them! My brother Chris lives in Spokane as well and my sister Cindy lives in Sandpoint, Idaho, so I don't have any family left in Chico. I still plan to visit, I would love to be living there instead of L.A. We do not have children, just 3 rescued dogs and the six horses...enough to keep me busy! If anyone from CHS wants to spend a day at Santa Anita and bring friends or family, please e-mail me and I will arrange it for you. (one of the perks of the job) I would love to catch up with you. All the best, Candie
