Lakeview Terrace sits in the northeastern corner of the San Fernando Valley, close to the Hansen Dam Recreation Area and Hansen Dam Equestrian Center, making it a natural hub for serious horse work.

Services & Process

Foran Performance Horses combines structured riding instruction with hands-on horse training, which is a meaningful distinction. On the riding side, lessons are geared toward riders who want to develop real skill, not just sit in a saddle. On the training side, professional work with horses covers ground manners, responsiveness to cues, and performance conditioning for competition or general handling. This dual-track approach means horse owners can bring their own animals for professional development while continuing to improve their own riding at the same time.

Service Area

Foran Performance Horses is based in Lakeview Terrace, serving the northeastern San Fernando Valley and surrounding communities. Riders and horse owners from Sylmar, Pacoima, Shadow Hills, and the broader LA equestrian community are all within easy reach. The location near Hansen Dam makes it a natural draw for the active horse community already centered in that part of the Valley.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does horse training at Foran Performance Horses actually involve?
Professional horse training typically includes working on ground manners, responsiveness to leg and rein aids, transitions, and any behavioral issues the horse may have. The trainer assesses each horse individually before developing a structured program.
Can I bring my own horse to Foran for training?
Yes, owner-provided horses are common in performance training programs. You'll want to discuss the horse's history, current level, and your specific goals when you first reach out at (818) 355-3374.
Is Foran Performance Horses suitable for competitive riders?
The performance-focused approach makes this a strong fit for riders pursuing competition. Whether you're working toward a local show or more serious competition, the training structure here is built around measurable improvement.
What's the difference between riding lessons and horse training at a performance stable?
Riding lessons focus on developing the rider's skills, position, and communication with the horse. Horse training focuses on the horse itself, improving its responsiveness, manners, and athletic development separately from the rider's own sessions.
How long does it take to see results from professional horse training?
Results depend on the horse's starting point and what you're working toward. Most owners see noticeable changes in behavior and responsiveness within a few weeks of consistent professional training.
Is Lakeview Terrace a good area for equestrian activities?
Yes. Lakeview Terrace is adjacent to the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center and has strong access to trails in the surrounding foothills. It's one of the more horse-friendly corners of the San Fernando Valley.
