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!

This was my first horseback riding experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly!…read moreKCS is a spacious horse ranch located in South Temecula. There's a variety of breeds to accommodate riders at any level. The owner, Kathy, gave me a nice lesson on horse behaviors before we started riding. She showed me how to maintain safety precautions and how to brush the horse. Once the actual riding portion of the lesson began, I rode a Quarter Horse while Kathy rode alongside of me on her horse. I felt very safe the entire time. On the track, there are mirrors to help you with your posture (which is essential to horseback riding). I was able to take pictures with my horse and when the lesson was over, I fed my horse some treats. Great experience!

I took my 6 year old greatdaughter to Ms Kathy yesterday. It was my girls' first time on a horse…read more We are so glad we chose KCS equestrian center. Safety and grooming came first, before riding. We both learned a lot! Mounting the horse was easy and safe, and learning to stop and start the horse came next. The whole hour was perfect, and Ms. Kathy was so calming for the horse and rider. We would travel and hour again to come here. Happy Trails to You!

After coming to the conclusion that it was time to put my senior horse with health issues out to…read morepasture, I and my wife begin doing research and asking people for referrals to a good facility. We visited multiple locations and interviewed the managers and owners of their facilities and decided on Whispering Oaks Ranch. After answering multiple questions, we chose Linda's facility and it was the best decision we could have ever made. Both Ken and Linda care tremendously for our equine friends and they often went beyond our expectations in caring for and ensuring the well-being of our senior horse. I highly recommend Whispering Oaks Ranch as a final home to those who want to show dignity and love to our equine friends.

Beautiful Whispering Oaks Ranch is where I retired my horse about four years ago when he was 29 and…read morea bit of a "special needs" case. He received gentle loving care from Linda Smith and her staff. The large paddock he was in with one special mare gave him everything he needed to live his best horsie life - including a girlfriend. Linda immediately gave me the peace of mind to leave my beloved horse with her and turn to caretaking my mother on her last journey. Linda also took care of Tex and loved him as her own until his passing in April of 2022. Her kindness and compassion at the end was completely in line with everything she does for all the horses in her care. On a practical note, I was welcomed each time I came to the ranch and if she wasn't there, I was provided with a code to open the gate. Her facility is spotlessly clean and well cared for; the feed is great and she buys special feed and supplements as required for each horse in her care. As you can guess, I would highly recommend Linda and Whispering Oaks Ranch in Temecula for all your horse lay-up or retirement needs.

Very unfortunate outcome of a transaction with this farm , I purchased a horse earlier this year…read morethrough Linda Helin , and was assured that should I need to return her for any circumstance I would receive 35% of her $5,000 purchase price back. I was told that she would be trained by a a world renowned professional trainer and she would receive at least 3 days of training a week prior to her transfer to me. Upon the finalization of the sale I found out it's just Linda's daughter who rides the horses. When I got Hazel (icy mischief) Linda last minute disclosed that during the entire extra month of "professional"training I paid an additional $1,000 for they had only ridden her 3-5 times in total the entire extra month she was there at Dream Hill Farms. My trainer assessed her after a week of her settling in at my barn and she immediately noticed Hazel had no groundwork, couldn't lunge , was unfamiliar with a mounting block etc. I wasn't expecting a unicorn as she was an OTTB but it definitely was clear nothing was worked on while she was there that extra time with Linda. When I reached out to Linda for them to buy her back (first right of refusal was signed) Linda asked that I "donate" her back because they were supposedly low on funds at the moment. I sent her back to Linda because we had both agreed that upon her resale I would receive at least the 35% of my initial purchase back. Come to find out they sold her and didn't tell me even though I'd been asking Linda how her interest was going , a friend of mine happened to see on her daughter Tyra Helin's advertisement and sold post for her NEARLY A MONTH AFTER. When I reached out to Linda about this she then lied and stated they only sold her for $2,500 , since then I'd reached out to Linda again and asked her about the 35% she hasn't responded and has flat out ignored my messages. PLEASE BEWARE OF PURCHASING FROM DREAM HILL FARMS IN MURRIETA! What I thought were honest and good people were scamming me! Hazel was in GREAT health when I sent her back to them and only needed her feet done. Linda claimed she had vet expenses and etc. and feeding etc, however that is NOT how business works , I can understand the feet needing to be done but my 35% does not have anything to do with your feed and training AFTER I'd sent her back.

Segrid had several listed to adopt at her ranch, So I scheduled a visit to go see with one of my horsey friends. We asked alot of questions and so did Segrid and her staff of me to be sure to match with the right horse, they were amazingly patient and knew which one was for me... Wild Max (akaMM). They are very knowledgeable of their horses,this breed, their past history, care and feeding, health, training etc.They offered training (which I gladly did.) Segrid is very thorough with her horses and the perspective adoptees. What are my intentions for the horse,location, vet-care etc. After meeting Max & riding, I had no hesitation taking him.

They take the time to create a customized care program tailored to each horse's unique needs, whether it's dietary requirements, medications, or simply providing extra attention or adding shavings when the stall looks low.
