Norco Horsemen's Association

We're the Norco Horsemen's Association.
We're here to promote and preserve the large lots and animal keeping lifestyle that we now enjoy.
We are a non-political group. We endorse no candidates.
We do, however, support issues and policies which are directly related to keeping Norco, Norco.

Norco is different from all other cities. People move here because of the "rural" atmosphere.
You won't find another city government as dedicated to keeping the large lots and animals... for now.
It's a dream to think that things will stay this way forever without a fight.
That's why this group was founded - to protect and maintain the things that people moved here to enjoy.

March Meeting Roundup

Thank you to Gary Roquet for a fantastic talk on the Horse Racing industry. Gary is the owner of Challenger Bloodstock Agency and has over 35 year of experience with Quarter Horse racing.

He explained that the racing industry basically consisted of three parts: Breeding, Training and Racing. He went over the characteristics of a good race horse. He said that Quarter Horse racing was healthy and growing and provided the best chance of making money. He also gave examples of how owning a race horse could help your tax situation.
