Southern California
Toreador Equine (formerly called NexStar Ranch) is a well known Thoroughbred breeding, training and layup farm in Temecula, CA.
Heart Bar Farms is a family-run business. The proud owners, Kasey Kinkade and Paisley Phelps, built the farm from the ground up, beginning with six bare acres and developing it into a beautiful equestrian center. Everything at their farm was built with heart and pride. We use Heart Bar Farms for rehabbing injured horses, working with problem horses and retraining.
