About Heart River Ranch

We are a small ranch located in the beautiful foothills of Temecula, California. We are approximately 8 miles from the I-15 Freeway and the famous "Old Town Temecula." The western hillsides of Temecula are known for the rich avocado harvest the area produces due to the ocean influence that gently blows thru the valley. The ranch is located at the end of the road on a bluff where we enjoy panoramic vistas, ocean views and incredible climate. We are surrounded by custom homes, avocado groves and our own private 650 acres of undeveloped splendor where we take an occasional trail ride. We are conveniently located with in 1-2 hours of San Diego, Orange County or Ontario Airport. The horses are always our main concern and we strive to ensure their health, safety and well-being on a daily basis. Visitors are welcome on an appointment basis.

Planning For The Future

We are in the business to breed, raise, show and sell top quality AQHA performance horses. We are striving to concentrate on the working cowhorse and cutting industry. We own a few select broodmares that are the foundation of our program. They are daughters of Smart Little Lena, Shining Spark, Doc O'Lena, Chic Please and Grays Starlight. We believe in a strong dam line and have carefully selected each mare on these merits. All our mares are money earners, NCHA or NRCHA, with the exception of Viola White~she was without question, welcomed into our broodmare band on the basis of her outstanding pedigree and the money earners she has produced.

Each year we spend an incredible amount of time researching each stallion that we are considering for the mares. We study pedigree, performance earnings, get earnings and sale results. We don't believe in selecting horses that are "hot" at the moment but ones that have the potential to be major contributors in producing outstanding offspring. It is our sole desire to produce good looking, trainable quarter horses that posses the talent and most importantly, the heart of a champion.
