Ventura Farms, previously known as Deerwood Stock Farm and Kentucky Park Farms, lies in the Hidden Valley in Thousand Oaks, California.[1][2][3] The 2,200-acre (890 ha) ranch has been featured in a number of Western films and is still used for filming. The main activity has long been the raising of thoroughbred horses.[1] It is situated at the east end of Lake Sherwood near the entrance to the Hidden Valley.[4]
