Sunshine and Daydreams Horseback Riding is a local, private horseback riding stable created by Sonja Trefethen in 1990. Sunshine and Daydreams is renowned for its specialization in safety and instruction, and the majority of its customers are beginners, many of whom have never ridden a horse before. Every rider is individually coached based on their knowledge and practice of correct horseback riding with the purpose of beginning or improving their horsemanship skills, and the stable has a very conservative riding policy to support rider safety and horse well-being. Nearby attractions include Pediatric Therapy at 4211 Valley View Ave. Norco, CA 92860 and Jolena's Lil Buckaroos petting zoo farm animals and pony rides.
