Willits, California

 

 

Ridgewood Ranch is best known as home to America's racehorse icon, Seabiscuit.

Ridgewood Ranch is important for a number of reasons, both cultural and environmental. As home to America's Depression-era icon, Seabiscuit, it holds national significance. As a continuing working ranch, it holds value in a state and country whose farmlands are dwindling at an alarming rate. The Ranch's importance as open space will continue to increase as surrounding land is subdivided and developed.
