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!

When I began the search for a retirement facility for my beloved 24 year old Arabian, I was…read morebeginning to lose hope on finding a place where I could still visit her often and could feel comfortable she was getting the care she needed. When I stumbled upon Linda's facility, I knew it was perfect and when there was finally an opening I was elated! The facility has much of what you could ask for. It's one of the few pasture options in North County San Diego, has a small/large arena option, individual pastures with covered stalls for when it rains, tack rooms, wash racks, etc. and they are able to cater services to exactly what your horse needs! It was perfect for us and I am so relieved I can retire my horse and still see her often. Since boarding my horse there for the past year, she has had a few health issues, which Linda and her staff have gladly helped accommodate giving medications, monitoring her progress, and even assisting with moving to a dry lot pasture as she could no longer handle the grass. I can tell all the staff truly care for my horse and want to ensure she is healthy and happy, which is worth more than anything, especially since I don't see her everyday. I highly recommend boarding your horse here and am so thankful to Linda and all the staff for making sure my perfect mare is healthy and happy in her golden years!

It is clean, well-run and a family environment where you feel good driving up and knowing it's almost like a home away from home. It's nice seeing other boarders and having a chat or just a simple wave across the stalls! It's so peaceful there and people respect each other. James and Kym are usually working away and doing what they do best... keeping up the ranch to the highest standards for all of our babies!! They are both so helpful and just truly wonderful, sweet, hard-working people that exude the utmost professionalism, compassion, helpfulness and caring. Yes, there are places cheaper and there are places more expensive... but know that money can't replace just knowing your horses are safe and loved and cared for when you're not there. Having that trust and ability to sleep peacefully each night knowing James and Kym care for my horses just as they would their own and care so much about all the animals is priceless. Trust me when I say it is worth every penny and more. Don't hesitate, just call and go see for yourself.... Treat your babies to the best boarding in the area! I am so thankful, happy and beyond grateful that I have the ability to board my horses here. I want the same for you!
