About us...........

Rancho California Horsemen Association was founded in 1969 as a membership-based group of equestrians and horse lovers in the Temecula Valley. We are dedicated to preserving and enjoying trails in our area. Our three main goals are: 1) to work with the County of Riverside to create a network of trails backed by legal easements so we can ride throughout the Valle de los Caballos, Wine Country, and out to Vail Lake, Lake Skinner and Diamond Valley Lake; 2) have as many of these as possible be offroad trails; and 3) get the trails onto the County's general plan revision 2009.

Our mission is to..........

Protect the “horse country” atmosphere of the Temecula Valley, particularly the Valle de los Caballos and Wine Country areas

Work with local governments (city, county, state) to designate and maintain a network of local and arterial trails (i.e., local “loops” as well as trails linking to major cross-county networks)

Facilitate networking among local horse lovers so our beautiful trails and horse-keeping areas can be enjoyed together

Promote the use of our trails as the best way to maintain them!

Be the voice of equestrians and horse lovers in the Temecula Valley

No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle
