4 weeks ago I moved from Poway up to Norco with my Boy Harry. We looked around to find the best fit. I have been in the horse world for over 40 years and have been to many barns over the years. As soon as I saw Tesoro and met everyone I knew I needed to bring my boy there. Jen the owner is very welcoming, kind and wants the best for the horses. You couldn't ask for a better caretaker with Zack always there to help and check on horses. We couldn't be happier with the family barn.

I could never put into words how much I love Tesoro. From the beginning Jen and Tim have always been so attentive. I came to Jen asking for a stall for my gelding that was at a not so good place, although she was in a bind and had nothing available she slept on it and never forgot about us. About two weeks after meeting her she calls me with the most excited tone ever and told me she had a stall come available due to a horse selling. I moved in the same week. My horse has never been so happy and he settled in right away. The first night I texted Jen asking if she could put a bucket in because I was scared he wouldn't get the hang of the automatic waters and within 10 minutes she sends me a video of my silly boy playing in his water bucket. Tim and Jen get it handled and done, they have never ever made me ask twice about something. These two love every single horse as if it was their own. Zack the ranch hand is also a huge help and always steps in and helps me out when I get overwhelmed with any training issues my horse has. Being a horse owner is already stressful enough but Tesoro is our safe place and our home we wouldn't change it for the world !

Thank you to the owners of Tesoro Farms. I had an amazing mini Birthday photoshoot at this lovely property. Jen was so accommodating and such a sweetheart! The horses are well maintained and it was such a treat to be surrounded by such beautiful animals. I hope to come back again soon to visit the horses, and "Pixie" too!

I used to board three horses at Tesoro Farms and the only reason I was able to move them to a new facility and leave amicably was because I took every ounce of self restraint to not call the owners out on their lack of knowledge about horses. I actually knew Tim, Jen, and Gracee before I boarded with them and thought I could trust them, but I also knew from boarding with them back in 2018 that they were brand new to horses at that time and were easily influenced by "uneducated" professionals within the industry. I had a gelding and a mare with a 6 month old filly at her side boarded there from October 7th 2023 to December 31st 2023. I moved them there from AZ and was able to visit the property once before we moved, but when I came to visit and had set a time to meet Jen, she couldn't bother to even show up. Then a few weeks after arriving, I realized her and her staff were only feeding each horse one flake of Alfalfa twice daily. Two flakes total. For anyone not aware, that's an extremely low amount of food. Horses should be consuming 1.5-2% of their body weight daily (that's 15 to 20 pounds for the average 1000 pound horse), but one flake of an average Alfalfa bale is 4-6 pounds, meaning they're consuming 8-12 pounds daily. Including my lactating mare who should have been on double that, easily. So on top of paying their ridiculously high board fees, I was also bringing in about $200-$250 worth of hay per month that I purchased on my own and drove out there daily (30+ minute drive for me) to feed them the additional hay. They didn't drop too much weight, but every horse on the property either has a slow metabolism or had zero muscle mass, including their performance horses. As someone who's been a professional within the horse industry for 5+ years with a bachelor's degree in equine science, a certificate in Equine Psychology, and various course completion focusing on biomechanics and behavior modification, in addition to being a rider of 20+ years, I can say with confidence that not only does Jen take advantage of those new to horses who don't know any better, but she does bully them into agreeing with her and allowing her and her staff to do whatever they want. The stall that my mare and foal were in was constantly muddy because the property was built so that run off water went straight to that stall (I was unaware of this before moving there) and they didn't care that both girls had thrush and white line disease or that the filly had slipped and fallen a couple of times because of the mud. They also worked on the shade structures while the horses were in the stall and I found multiple screws in my horses' stalls. There were several occasions where I found littered trash in the stalls too. If you want your horse fed lunch, it's extra. Blanketed? Extra. Bedding? Extra. Turn out? You'll have to pay another boarder because they won't. On top of $540 per horse in a poorly maintained ~12x40 open half-covered pipe stall. Jen told me the neighbors were constantly calling animal control on them and complained she wasn't doing anything wrong. When animal control did show up, she just flirted with the officers until they decided the animals were fine and left. There's also extremely limited parking on the property (there's 38 horses on a 1.8 acre property in addition to the arena, small turn-out space, 30' round pen, and trailer parking) and parking on the street meant walking about 100 yards to the back of the property for me. Plenty of tack rooms, but they did not provide saddle stands or hooks which I thought was weird and although they boast about having someone do a 10pm walk through by the resident living in the ADU, he often turned around before even getting to my horses (and we won't even talk about his major character flaws I found out about after moving my horses, thankfully). Let's see, what else...I often wasn't able to turn out my horses for more than 15 minutes a day because owners were fighting for turn-out use (again, 38 horses to 1.8 acres, which is illegal in most other states for good reason), the automatic waters leaked and made the stalls even more attractive to flies, stalls were only cleaned 6 days a week so I had to clean them on Sundays, the majority of horses on the property had vices (cribbing, weaving, pawing, food aggression, etc) from poor management practices, they were sleep deprived from the ground being so hard, there was dog poop everywhere, my muck rake got stolen, and there were blankets left on horses when it was sunny and 65 degrees out. Oh, and when I tried to ask Jen a question, she snapped at me for not texting her "barn manager" Mon-Fri, who I'd never seen on the property more than twice the entire time I boarded there. Yes, I saved all of my text messages too and won't be posting them either in case there is legal action taken. I've boarded horses at 5 barns in CA and 5 barns in AZ (two of which I was the barn manager) and this was one of the worst experiences

Tesoro Farms is an absolute gem! I've been boarding all my horses here for almost 2 years now. I couldn't be happier with the care my horses receive. The owners Tim and Jen are knowledgeable and truly passionate about horses, going the extra mile to ensure that every animal is well cared for and comfortable. I never worry about going out of town, that peace of mind priceless. In addition to the owners, another couple, Zack and Morgan live on property to help with feeding the horses and cleaning the stalls. The horses have eyes on them 24/7. They offer other services like turn outs and blanketing and giving Medicene. You can always find someone to help with anything, even help grooming or bathing horses. Tesoro has their own trainer named Tori Ramirez. She is awesome!! She does both group and individual training. On Thursday evenings you can find her doing Gymkhana training for a big group of us. She will ride your horse if you can't make it to the barn to ensure they're getting out and exercised. The amount of extras they provide here is such a bonus! The facility itself is top-notch, with spacious stalls, a well-maintained arena, round pen, turnouts and horse wash. There is plenty room for all your tack. Beyond the amenities, what truly sets Tesoro Farms apart is the sense of community. All the boarders are friendly and supportive, making it a pleasure to spend time at the barn. We have all grown to be friends and have events at the barn whether it's BBQ's or birthday parties or even horse camping! There is never a shortage of someone to trail ride with, and Tesoro is only a block from the river bed, so it's is the perfect location! Tesoro boarders are active in the community between Gymkhana, Mounted Possee, Saddle Sore Riding Club and more. My horses are happy, healthy, and thriving here, and I wouldn't want them anywhere else! If you're looking for more than just a horse boarding facility, I highly recommend Tesoro Farms.

I currently board my horse at Tesoro Farms in Norco, CA, and I couldn't be more pleased. This place truly deserves a solid 5-star rating. The facility is top-notch, with spacious and well-maintained stalls, large arena, seperate area for turn-out, round pen, hot walker, wash rack, tack rooms and additional private storage for your hay and supplements. They have different size stalls to choose from as well as box stalls. The owners Tim and Jen are meticulous about keeping the facilty clean, and actually have the waste removed DAILY from the property. There is no pile up of horse manure on the property which equals NO FLIES. This is a really nice bonus! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and caring, ensuring that my horse received the best care possible. In addition to the owners who live onsite, they also have a barn Manager named Jill who is awesome! There are 2 onsite tenants named Zach and Morgan who watch and help with the horses doing the "late shift" patrolling and checking water and horses. There are so many "eyes" on these horses they are very well cared for. What sets Tesoro Farms apart is their commitment to the well-being of the horses. They provide excellent feed, regular exercise, and a safe, serene environment for the animals. All stalls have automatic waters, and clean mats. I always feel confident that my horse is in good hands especially when I have to go out of town for a few days. There are cameras on the property and I have seen Jen come out to assist other boarders with their horses. Tim takes care of all the feed. They will feed your horse their supplements for you as long as they're bagged and ready to go! Additionally, the community at Tesoro Farms is fantastic. Fellow boarders are friendly, and always willing to help or share advice. There is always a group to go on trail with, and this facility is located less than 5 mins from the riverbed to ride. They organize group rides for everyone to join in. They are also starting a Gymkhana team. Overall, Tesoro Farms is amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for exceptional care for their horses. I have 3 babies who live here and love it

Wait can you book tickets to ride horses?

No. We are a boarding facility. We don’t lease out the horses to ride because most of the horses don’t belong to us.

Onto the actual adventure, our guide was Ebony, and she was incredible, literally incredible. She was super informative right from the very beginning and super knowledgeable as well about the trail and just everything that we were seeing. It was fun to learn a little bit about her and a lot about just the nature preserve and all the little fun facts that we probably wouldn't have known otherwise. I hope that we can come back sometime soon. We were there to celebrate my dad's birthday and he had an amazing time as well. Thank you for helping make this experience super special and memorable and thank you for the top-tier Customer Service! And let me not forget to mention that everyone who works there that we encountered was super friendly. 10. Stars!

Lauren, our trail leader, was amazing--very knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly experienced with both the riders and the horses. My horse was INDIGO. But all the horses were calm and not temperamental at all, which made the ride even more enjoyable and relaxing. I chose the early morning ride, and it was absolutely perfect. I had removed my flannel beforehand and wore only a sleeveless tee, which worked out great as the sun started to come up. Parking was very convenient, and I especially loved that this location is only about 20 minutes from my home in Canyon Springs. The trails through the Santa Ana Riverbed were lovely--peaceful, scenic, and exactly what I was hoping for. I will definitely be doing this again. It was such a better experience and value than driving all the way into the Los Angeles area for a ride. This gave me exactly what I wanted: a serene, beautiful morning on horseback in nature. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience--and Lauren, you are amazing!

I can't say enough good things about my own experience here, as well as what I've witnessed in the youth who ride and train at the ranch. The training is hands-on, respectful, and rooted in real horsemanship--not shortcuts or quick fixes. It builds a strong foundation and truly teaches you how to work with the horse. I've gained so much from this place. I've seen huge growth in myself, not just in my riding, but in confidence, discipline, and overall mindset. This ranch is something special--and I'm so grateful to be a part of it. So if you're looking to take lessons or board your horse - this is definitely the place!

She's also helped me with training my horses and helped me with tips along the way to better my horses.

It's a great facility if you'd like to board your horses and you love the "ranch" aesthetic like we do! She does have horses here that she's rescued and were well trained to be used for horsemanship/riding lessons and my girls are next in line to start their training with her. I absolutely love it here. If you're looking to board here it is awesome and only minutes away from a trail to take your horses through!
