Horses in Orange

When it comes to Orange County Horse Properties, Yorba Linda is where you can get some of the best value for your money.  Most horse properties sit on about half an acre, give or take a little.  The trails include a 90 acre dry lakebed, Chino Hills state park and about 100 miles of trails that run throughout the city.  Please see the trail map below.  Most of the equestrian activity is on the west side, older part of town.  Because the lots are relatively small, many residents use the city equestrian center called Paxton Equestrian Center.  It boasts an immaculately maintained large arena, small arena and fully enclosed round pen.  Yorba Linda has it's own feed store, called Yorba Linda Feed, where people can buy hay and supplies for their livestock as well as their pets.
