Equine Network LLC has acquired a controlling interest in Nilforushan Equisport Events with an eye toward further enhancing “the competitor experience in Southern California.”
“We have been looking for a partner in the Hunter/Jumper market that shares our values,” said Tom Winsor, Equine Network’s CEO.
“We feel strongly Ali Nilforushan and his team have the vision to create exceptional experiences in and out of the show ring.”
Nilforushan Equisport Events produces shows at Galway Downs in Temecula, Calif., that cater to both competitors and spectators. The company offers U.S. Equestrian Federation fixtures with prize money classes, affordable showing options and VIP experiences. The company strives to make its events fun, featuring entertainment, game nights and social events, in addition to the competition it offers.
In addition to being a show organizer, Ali Nilforushan, president of Nilforushan Equisport Events, has competed at the top level, representing Iran in the 2000 Olympic Games. He is “looking forward to joining forces with Equine Network, as we share a common vision for the future of equestrian sport in California.”
Equine Network’s majority stake in Nilforushan Equisport Events aligns with its growth plans. The company has made strategic acquisitions within the equine industry. Its offerings include competitions, roadside assistance for horse owners, subscription-based training and care products, online learning channels, and inclusive communities. The acquisition adds a new dimension to its Sports Group offerings with the creation of the Premier Equisport Group.
This collaboration also promises to attract more participants and spectators to Temecula’s Galway Downs, making the venue a destination for riders of all levels. Galway Downs is the proposed equestrian venue for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
