Family friendly, great ranch in the heart of Murrieta. Melinda has been taking care of horses and…read morechildren for more than 20 years and is wonderful with both! She is an outstanding riding instructor but no one receives better care than her horses. Come by and just look at the horses - all are happy and healthy and most live well past their 30's. I think of Hawkrest as "horse heaven" since your horse couldn't be more well cared for. Both of my daughters learned to ride here, and I happily board my horse here - even if I had the ability to keep him at my home, I would entrust him to Hawkrest for the top notch care he receives!

I brought my horse here because I was getting knee surgery and wouldn't be able to care for her. My…read morehorse is extremely sensitive and has a pretty big opinion about things, so trusting people with her is very difficult for me. But my horse has been so happy there. Everything is taken care of and it feels wonderful that I have a place I can take my horse where I know she will always be safe. I also know my horse will be very mad at me when she leaves from this wonderful place!

They have around 5 seperate beautiful pastures and they are really good at knowing which one your horse would fit into best. They really care about each horse and even will individually feed your horse his/her supplements as needed in a seperate paddock each day for no extra charge. They spread the hay out in the pasture so that even the timid horses get plenty of food to eat. All the horses are in good shape and healthy. She has the farrier out around every 10 weeks to trim the horses feet and the vet out twice a year to give them there shots. You don't have to be there, you just get a bill in the mail! My Gypsy Vanner gelding has been there since he was 9 months old and he is just over 3 years now. I'm going to feel guilty taking him away from all his horse buddies so that he can be trained and ridden!

The management team is simply outstanding; they are always attentive and address any issues or concerns immediately, ensuring that both riders and horses are well taken care of.
