I went this weekend and it was so beautiful all the cherry blossom tree trees, and the secret garden and just a walk around the little lake. I saw some turtles, a lot of butterflies and hummingbirds and bees. It's a very nice place to have a picnic or ride your bike or take your dog.

They are also kind enough to let you roam their whole place to look at horses. However, you cannot pet or feed them unless owner allows it. Still, a beautiful place especially for horse lovers. Make sure you bring boots and clothes you wouldn't mind getting full of dirt.

Missed my flight, got five hours of sleep, and drove the kids to Newport for their horseback ride. I was a little nervous reading a review where an adult was led on his ride, however, this was not my experience. We had two adults and two small children in our party. One of my children was led by the pony for half the ride and then all of us were able to ride at our own pace with the most beautiful view of the water and beachside. Stacy was great with my kids and the horses. I was never worried about safety and the ride was calming. I felt centered for the first time in weeks after the ride. It was beautiful. She spent a lot of time with us. I am grateful for a wonderful 3rd birthday, thank you! We were just a little cramped in the beginning with another birthday party there. My children learned to paint hooves though, and that was an excellent activity to space out the two separate parties.

The best location for toddlers!…read more Received lessons by Shelby, Emma and Stacey for our daughter who is a toddler. They have a wide array of saddles (western and English) for little kids along with horses who are well trained with little kids. Clyde and Sonny are amazing horses and Ace is a wonderful Pony for first time riders. Love the 30 min loop around Back Bay!

Santiago Equestrian Center has genuinely been one of the biggest blessings in my life. From the…read moremoment we started boarding there, I felt an overwhelming sense of community and belonging. 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. I've boarded at several different barns in Orange County and Santiago is by far the best. The facility itself is a true sliver of heaven, surrounded by breathtaking trails that make every ride feel like an adventure. It's a one of a kind place. I cannot recommend Santiago Equestrian Center enough. If you're looking for a welcoming barn family and an exceptional boarding facility, this is the place to be!

I contacted Lynn because I wanted to get instruction and have a positive trail experience with an expert. Lynn exceeded my expectations! My own horse is boarded at another stable, so I was matched with a safe and experienced trail horse belonging to Lynn's assistant. My lessons started with a short introduction to my horse in the arena followed by a short trail ride. Subsequent lessons took us farther into the trail system. Lynn knows the trails like the back of her hand and chose trails that challenged me but did not overface me. She freely shares her extensive knowledge about trail riding technique, trail etiquette, and safety. We saw lots of beautiful scenery. Encounters with deer, mountain bikes, hikers, courting peacocks, squealing children in trees, and joggers with mylar balloons all came off without incident, thanks to Lynn and Star, the perfect trail horse. Lynn offers private instruction, group lessons, and horse care. I had a great experience and recommend Strand Training Center without reservation!

Love the atmosphere, friendly boarders, staff, and owner, Jane! Shaunna C. wrote an accurate review…read morewith most of the amenities, that Trail Steppin offers. As it is almost 4 years later, I will provide an update. Feed is still the standard Alfalfa Hay (in morning) and Alfalfa/Oat pellets (in evening). However, you can chose an all hay diet for your horse, for no additional fee. Any other hay, or special diet may be elected, but boarders have to purchase themselves. There is no added charge for feeding your hay, but no discount is offered in trade either. Bagged supplements are feed daily, at no cost. The option of Psyllium is also a continued program offered at a very reasonable rate (less than if I bought myself). They feed it to your horse for 7 days, the 1st through 7th every month. Arena is not large, however it is suitable for basic training & riding, and has lights available for evening/night riding. Footing is good with sand, and has DG base. You can also use it as a turnout too, as long as others are not waiting to use it for riding. There is a hot water wash rack in the breezeway barn, and other wash racks are available with cool water by the mare motel. Opportunities to sit outside are abundant, and the indoor community saloon Shaunna mentioned continues to be a popular hang out. The saloon has a bathroom inside for all boarders to use as well. No port a potties here! A welcomed change from many other Norco boarding facilities. I am unaware of all the pricing for stalls, and with the fluctuation in hay prices, it's best to call for current rate. Stalls varies in size and prices - There is one "in & out" stall in the main barn, normally used for a mare and foal. It is available to any boarder that is willing to pay for the upgrade, and is subject to availability. 2 extra-large outdoor pipe corrals, "16x36" (I think), and are partially covered. In the main barn, there are 7 - "12x24" partially covered stalls, with stud panels between them. These are closest to the arena, community tack room, and are located in the covered breezeway. Other stalls are pipe corrals located in mare motels, are "12x24"s, and also partially covered. Jane, the owner lives on the property, and actively oversees daily operation and care. Her home is in front, as you drive through an automatic gate. Stable is fully fenced and enclosed, so if a horse gets lose, it can not run out in the street. This provides a wonderful piece of mind to horse owners. Jane has 2 full time employees that feed and clean 7 days a week. They are both themselves horse owners, and truly care for the horses on the property. Most boarders are trail riders, and care for their own horses. There are opportunities for horse training, if so elected. You can have an outside person/trainer come to stables and work with your horse, as long as they sign a release. A natural horsemanship trainer, Roger, lives next door. He offers full training, and other services to boarders. Roger has many happy clients, and travels throughout the area for mobile training, and also teaches clinics. Trail Steppin has trails right outside property, and Ingalls arena is a short ride from the facility. Few stables in Norco have the full amenities that TS offers, or the quiet and casual atmosphere boarders experience here. I would recommend to any horse owners looking for quality boarding and care in Norco.

First and foremost, Jane (owner) is great, always attentive and easy going…read more Boarding cost was $325 - including Psyllium (which out in Norco, you definitely need). The stall was in good shape, 16x24 in size, and cleaned 6 days a week. Horses were fed pellets and alfalfa, which was a disappointment to me. I hate seeing any stable feeding pellets, totally not good for your horse.If you want additional feed or different types of feed, there is an extra cost and you must provide the feed yourself. The property offers a hot walker, obstacle course, 1 arena, 1 turn out, and 2 round pens. The arena is very, very, small and not really suitable for most arena work. The turn out is a nice size, but nothing special. Out of the 2 round pens, you are only able to use one for a turn out, the other is meant to work your horse only. Even though the arena is not great for riding, you are surrounded by amazing trails everywhere. There is a community tack locker, as well as private tack lockers available for an extra fee. Everyone is super awesome there, so don't ever worry about your stuff getting stolen. The place even has a little hang out/saloon for everyone to enjoy. It is awesome and everyone there is great enough to want to use the saloon with! Seriously, just a wonderful community feel. The only reason I moved my horse was because I moved to a new facility in Covina, literally 3 minutes away from my home. I really encourage you to take a look and consider boarding. If you're laid back, you'll love it.
