Norco
If you are a horse enthusiast, you will love Norco.  The whole town revolves around our love of horses.   We have over 130 miles of horse trails that wind through all the city streets, leading to trails in the hills, to and through the riverbed, and to the several community riding arenas located throughout the town.  Our town’s sign, coming into the area, proudly states “Horse Town USA”.  We even have over a week dedicated to our love of horses — the last week of April called Horseweek — where we have a parade, many community fun events every night and a three-day rodeo. All this happens with a red, white, and-blue-stripped “Main Street” in very a patriotic little town that is located right in the center of Southern California!

Paso Robles & Central California
Not only is Paso Robles famous for wines, just voted “BEST Wine Country Town” according to Sunset Magazine, but it is rapidly becoming an emerging world-class equestrian destination hosting some of the top equestrian shows in California. The Paso Robles Horse Park held its grand opening in May 2015 and is now ready to add its name to the list of top equestrian venues. Eagle Oak Ranch is known for its famous equestrian roots!  The estate was built for Kenny Rogers’s manager, Ken Kragen. It was a Hollywood hideout.  Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson were known to visit.  The real resident star though was “Snow Chief,” a Preakness Winner and horseracing legend.  The ranch was once home to 400 Thoroughbreds.  The premier Equestrian facilities are still in pristine condition.

Equestrians who wish to have their own horses on their property find this valley irresistible, especially because of the public arenas at Walnut Grove Park located in Twin Oaks Valley, and miles of riding trails.

East San Diego County – Lakeside has been described as “the home of the big country, with wide open spaces and a family-comes-first disposition.” That’s so true with its lakes, mountains and spectacular change-of-season. Lakeside’s rural atmosphere is very attractive to those seeking escape from the more densely settled areas of central San Diego. Located about 28 miles north east of downtown San Diego, the desire to maintain a rural type of lifestyle has affected the way in which Lakeside has developed. A considerable amount of small-scale farming exists in the community and many homes in the residential areas of Lakeside have small horse corrals evidencing a relatively high degree of horse ownership. Discover miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails in Sycamore Canyon Preserve and Iron Mountain hiking trails. Some trails offer simple strolls along placid streams while others take you over rugged mountains and isolated valleys… Some are easy, flat paths and others take you up and down a mountain – you pick the path. Lakeside retains an old-style homespun feel under its huge sky. Progress can’t touch it and that’s why living here is so special.

Inland Empire
I have been a real estate professional in the Inland Empire with over 27 years of experience selling equestrian properties. The summer home-buying on equestrian properties has increased from last summer to this summer. The typical day on the market for equestrian properties is 45 to 60 days depending on supply, the location, and the list price. Interest rates have increased, which is typical for the summer months. With the rates still in the single digits, this can inspire buyers to purchase now. Home prices have increased, making listing their home attractive to sellers.

Southern Oregon
Our part of the world has so much to offer!  Four seasons, great climates and beautiful properties.  What I love the most about our area is the ability to ride year-round.  Our average rainfall is only 18 inches per year, and my favorite times of the year are the fall and spring.  We do have our winter months and snow in the mountains and the valley floor may see a bit of snow a couple times a year.  The horse industry here is strong, offering something for all types of horses and riders. There is an abundance of riding trails and many campgrounds for both you and your horse!  Call Colby if you would like to receive our Ranch and Rural News and Notes Newsletter, or if you are interested in properties here in Southern Oregon!

County unincorporated Elfin Forest, so-named for its characteristic low-lying coastal sage scrub, has many horse properties because of its 2.5-acre minimum lot size. It boasts a vast trail system throughout the 11-square mile community which connects with Rancho Santa Fe, Olivenhain, San Marcos, and Escondido trail systems. Elfin Forest retains an active town council, and several non-profit organizations dedicated to acquiring and preserving riparian habitat, creating and maintaining its network of trails, and improving and maintaining its rural character. Zealously protecting its rural lifestyle since its inception, Elfin Forest residents put high value on low density, dark skies, large and small animal keeping, and volunteerism.

San Diego & Riverside Counties
I have entertained living in other parts of this country and just can’t seem to find a location that has better weather.  Equestrians flock to my area of Southern California between Murrieta and Temecula east to Wine Country and Fallbrook to Del Mar and east to Warner Springs for the climate where you can literally ride 365 days of the year.   We have an active show schedule for many disciplines, between show jumping, eventing and working cow horse to cutting at Casners Ranch and Galway Downs in Temecula to show jumping, dressage, western pleasure and reining at Show Park in Del Mar in San Diego County. There are one- to two- acre properties from $350,000 to $800,000 and five-, 10- and 40-acre parcels from $600,000 to $5 million-plus available.  Depending on your pocket book and your inclination to take care of a horse property, you can find just about whatever you are looking for in Southern California.  I am a third-generation equestrian that inherited my love of land from my father, who long ago sold some of the land I’m selling now.  I have been specializing in equestrian properties for over 25 years and truly love to help horses and their people to find a home.

West L.A & Ventura Counties – The economy seems back on track, and housing has surpassed peak pre-recession values in some areas.  Regarding the state of the horse property market in West Los Angeles County, I’ve observed a few interesting trends. Housing developers have resumed the fight with conservationists, and the developers are winning.  A couple of proven wildlife corridors in Calabasas and Agoura are slated to be housing tracts supported by those city’s respective planning commissions. As densities increase and trails decrease, many horse people will leave for greener pastures. Unless bound to an office in the city, many are emigrating to where acreage optimal for horse keeping is less expensive. There is still a vibrant equestrian community in West Los Angeles County.

Temecula/ So. Cal. – Horse properties in the Temecula Murrieta Valley are still in demand. August with its heat cooled the market a bit. Then in September before the RESPA and TILA changes. I had multiple lookers on my Equestrian properties, then October 1 nothing till the last week of October. And then once again multiple offers. Best time to sell? May to January is when most action occurs. For Buyers January to the end of April, for best deals, most people are thinking of paying Holiday bills and taxes. Sellers want a High Number, Buyers Want a Low Number! I just want you to call my number! Serving North San Diego and South West Riverside Counties, Homes and Land. Horse spoken here! See ad on page

Burbank & Glendale Rancho – What makes the Burbank and Glendale Rancho special to horse people is the adjacent access to 50 miles of trails in Griffith Park.  Your horse can live in your backyard or a neighborhood facility and within minutes you are crossing the swinging horse bridge and heading onto the trails.  With quick access to work in downtown LA, Hollywood and all the studios, you can ride before or after work.  After your ride, the area also offers bowling, ice skating, tennis, basketball, shops and great restaurants.  This is the urban most horse keeping in the United States.
