The address, 7200 Lone Pine Drive, Rancho Murieta, is within walking distance of the Rancho Murieta Airport (RIU) whose runway is paved and extends 3800 feet, and a shopping center with 35 stores, restaurants, shops, and professional offices.

Home to over 40 events scheduled every year, including everything from horse shows, fund raisers, symposiums, and dog agility clinics, Murieta Equestrian Center also sponsors the Gold-N-Grand Horse Show, one of the largest open all breeds show, and the MEC/WCEF Spectacular Reining Show, one of the largest NRHA approved shows in the world. Proceeds from the Spectacular are used by the West Coast Equine Foundation to support and benefit youth and equine programs, including the California Future Farmers of America, The California 4-H Foundation, Project Ride, the University of California at Davis Center for Equine Health, and the Dick Randall Memorial Scholarship Program. At present, MEC is proud to have donated over $50,000 to these worthy benefactor programs.
