I saw my first Arabian horse at the Kellogg Sunday shows in the late 60's. I am currently a professional Arabian Horse Trainer, USEF Liscenced Judge and serving on the AHA Board of Directors. Do not destroy this valuable rescourse. This property was given to you by W.K Kellogg with the confidence that you would honor his legacy. To further diminish the agricultural faciljties on the Kellogg property would be a breach of this trust and possibly breach your legal obligation.

Class of 2016 College of Agriculture, Animal Science student and current President of the Cal Poly Pomona Livestock Show Team. I cannot speak for other students, but one of the first things that I fell in love with about Cal Poly Pomona was that when I entered campus, I was not immediately surrounded by concrete and buildings. The opportunities for agriculture students available both astounded and excited me. Now, being told that the part of campus that has caused so many students to fall in love with the environment and community that is Cal Poly Pomona is in jeopardy of being turned into paved roads and concrete buildings, truly breaks my heart.
"...the foundation that bears his name deeded the land to California’s state college system providing the land be used for educational purposes and the traditional horse shows that he launched in 1926 would continue” How can the university justify the horrific destruction of pasture land that was donated in the hopes that we would not only maintain Kellogg’s love for agriculture and horses, but to help them thrive? This land was meant to be utilized as a place to continue the Arabian horse breeding program that Kellogg strived to begin as well as to use these resources as classrooms and learning tools for the Cal Poly Pomona students. Cal Poly Pomona claims to embrace a “learn by doing” philosophy as well as upholding the ideals of “quality over quantity”, yet how can students continue to embrace these philosophies if their resources are continually being taken from them? How is the school going to continue to uphold the legacy of W.K. Kellogg’s Arabian breeding program and horse shows if the land utilized to feed, exercise, and showcase these animals is paved over? Not only would this construction be detrimental to the Arabian Horse Center, the current equestrian teams, and classes for Cal Poly students, but would also greatly impact the other livestock animal facilities on campus as well. With the removal of this land,

The administration is missing the point of the entire school. Cal Poly Pomona has ALWAYS been committed to ag.
