CELEBRATE 55 YEARS WITH US
What a milestone! County and city officials, along with community members and longtime supporters, came together to celebrate the 55th Anniversary of the Yorba Linda Country Riders (YLCR) with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Phillip S. Paxton Equestrian Center. City Manager Peter Grant even saddled up for a commemorative horseback ride, marking over five decades of YLCR’s dedication to preserving Yorba Linda’s rich equestrian lifestyle. The event was filled with pride, camaraderie, and community spirit — a true reflection of what makes YLCR such a valued part of Yorba Linda’s history and future.
Thank you for being part of the YLCR community. Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want to get involved. See you at the events!
Dee Dee Friedrich, YLCR President

The primary mission of the Yorba Linda Country Riders, as set forth herein, is the dedication to the aesthetics of a semi-rural atmosphere that represents the historical heritage of Yorba Linda. Through the avenue of educational enterprise, the objective of the Yorba Linda Country Riders endeavors to promote, preserve, and protect all aspects of the equestrian element of Yorba Linda and surrounding areas by also supporting the efforts of like-minded organizations where appropriate.
Furthermore, the Yorba Linda Country Riders supports the concept of humane and ethical treatment of all animals and believes that humans have an inseparable relationship with the natural world. Unnecessary hardship imposed upon animals as a result of a relationship with humans will not be tolerated, and membership in the Yorba Linda Country Riders will be terminated where willful abuse of equines and other animals is determined to occur.
