Welcome!
Dehesa Farms, formerly Dahlberg Farms under the management of Easterbrook Livestock Management, is now owned and operated by Shane Easterbrook. Dehesa Farms is located in the town of San Miguel, amongst the beautiful rolling hills and vineyards on the Central Coast of California.
The name Dehesa comes from the Dehesa region in Spain known for preservation of endangered species, animal husbandry and pasture management. The name encompasses Shane’s vision to preserve and care for not only Thoroughbreds but all equine breeds.
Shane joined Dahlberg Farms 17 years ago as manager of their horses. After 5 years Rex and Nancy paved the way for Shane to offer her equine management services to outside clients as well. At that time Shane established Easterbrook Livestock Management, which she has continued to build over the last 12 years, making quality, attentive care, hard work and honest representation at the sales her top priorities.
During this time Dahlberg Farms has endured some difficult changes. Rex passed away in 2020 leaving a void on the farm and in the heart of Shane and Nancy. Nancy continues to persevere and raise Thoroughbreds with Shane’s management at the Farm. To this day, Nancy provides a special mentorship to Shane in business and in life, shown most recently by Nancy and the family providing an opportunity for Shane to purchase the beautiful farm and continue the legacy that Rex and Nancy have built in the Thoroughbred industry.
Dehesa Farms, under the ownership and management of Shane Easterbrook, will continue to maintain a focus on the Thoroughbred industry while also expanding to offer services to other breeds. Dehesa Farms provides quality care and services specializing in mare, foal, yearling care, and sales preparation. In addition, Dehesa Farms will begin to offer additional stallion and breeding services as well as limited training.
Dehesa Farms is committed to providing quality care with attention to detail in all aspects of breeding, foaling, and raising successful equine athletes.
