Greengate Ranch

http://www.greengateweddings.com

Greengate Ranch & Vineyard has a history dating back to the 1800’s as a dairy farm, but
is best known for its rise to international acclaim under the ownership of Jay and
Dorothy Stream, who occupied the ranch from the 1950’s until 2012. The Streams bred
world class Arabian horses after turning this majestic piece of land into a top-notch
horse facility. Jay Stream was a Past President of the International Arabian Horse
Association (IAHA), inspired the Arabian Horse Society and was President Emeritus of
the World Arabian Horse Organization (WAHO), having served as President for 31 years.
His international recognition popularized the ranch as it became home to world class
Arabian events and extravagant galas and auctions attended by celebrities, royalty and
luminaries from the Middle East who traveled half way across the globe to visit
Greengate Ranch.

Jay Stream has since passed away and Dorothy Stream has moved to Arizona. The

property and all of its facilities had fallen on hard times and were in need of a and his mother An Marieta
substantial restoration project. A local business man purchased the property in July of
2012 and immediately went to work restoring the grounds and structures to their previous grandeur.

The barn structures were in need of immediate attention as one had partially collapsed. Both barns have
been restored from top to bottom, while maintaining their historic design and charm.
The front pastures, which have historically been irrigated horse pastures, had become overgrown with six-
foot high weeds and thistle. They’ve now been cleared and re-seeded. Greengate had been a horse training,
breeding and boarding facility for decades, but most of the arenas on the property had been removed or
become obsolete.

Since July 2012, Greengate Ranch has been in a state of many improvements and projects carrying out the
current owner’s vision to create a property that is a world class destination for vacation retreats, corporate
functions, weddings and lifestyle & equestrian events. In April of 2013, 70 acres of Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir vineyards were planted on the surrounding green lands of the property, new pasture fencing and
irrigation lines were installed and new world-class horse training arenas were built.
