American Horse Products

I used to literally travel to Del Mar or Baldwin Park for my horse needs.
My friend took me to American Horse Products and my jaw dropped. First of all I did not even know they existed since they dont advertise. Second, the sheer selection in this store is amazing. Anything from western and english gear for horse and rider to the biggest selection of supplements and care products I have seen. And then there is a big array of gift items and toys for pony crazy children. It’s all there.
The staff is helpful even when the store is busy. Never did I feel rushed, never did they make me feel like I take them from more important things to do. One word of advice — dont go there if you are in a hurry, there is so much to see and find. Have a cup of coffee, hang out, peruse the store, met new people and enjoy.

I only give this store 2 stars for their dog care section in the back and one horse thing.
The saddles and accessories are beautiful, seem well made, and the have a large variety of things horse related as well. Those things are fine.
The problem I had was back in the dog section, which I wasn’t expecting to find, was the items the had on the shelf. Things like Angel eyes and not up to my standards of supplements on the shelf. As I looked around I noticed a lot of dust on the products. So, i picked up a few of the bottles and noticed that most of them had expired! I even found one with a 2013 expiration date! Um, not good. So, to me it seems that if you are going to have a section for dogs You’d think they’d not only clean the shelves once in a while, but check their stock as well. I’m not saying that supplements are bad for your pets, just read the labels, ask questions and check the expiration dates!

Love that they are open Sundays now. I ALWAYS find a great deal on a lil something!
Wish they had more stuff for minis, but they have EVERYTHING else, that’s for sure!
Fun to go in and chat about horse stuff with them; there’s always someone around that knows about your precise issue at the moment.

Best horse store that I have ever been to. Great selection, great prices, and friendly service. If you have a horse, and live in South Orange County, you have to check this place out. I am here pretty much every weekend getting one thing or another for our horse, and it is always a good experience.
The staff is very knowledgeable, and are more than happy to help, which is nice since there are so many options to choose from.

Great Store and Great Prices. Many times their prices compare to discount catalog prices. As one person said, it is a Disneyland for horse lovers. If you can’t find something be sure to ask because they have items hidden all over the store. They have a great inventory! They recently enlarged and expanded their feed section and they have an extensive selection. The only thing they don’t carry is hay, but they do have all bagged feed including forage. My favorite horse store of all time and I’ve owned horses for more then 35 years.

Inconvenient location in San Juan which is probably what enables them to have such a large store with such an amazing selection. I’ve never seen a bigger or better equestrian only store, it’s Disneyland for horse lovers!

The address on here is wrong. This is their old location and they moved to San Juan Capistrano years ago.
Their new address is:
31 896 Plaza Dr # C4
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92 675‑3736
(949) 248‑5300
Open Weekdays 10am-​6pm; Sat 10am-​4pm
Anyway, American Horse Products (AHP) is great. I have been a customer since they opened and had a tiny cramped store in Laguna Niguel. Their new digs in SJC is a lot bigger and much better laid out.
They have a huge selection of supplements and barn/​grooming/​horse/​medical supplies. They definitely have the best prices around.
They do lack on carrying some of the bigger name brands though on tack and rider apparel (helmets/​boots) like Ariat, Charles Owen, GPA, Pessoa, etc to name a few. You’ll need to go to another tack store if it’s the bigger name brands you are looking for. I guess that is why their store is called «horse products» and not «tack and feed.» They do carry some feeds though like Triple Crown products.
My only gripe is that they are closed on Sundays. :(I usually do my shopping at tack stores on the weekends because I work fulltime week days, so it really only leaves me one day to go there. If I am busy Saturday, then I usually will have to go to another nearby tack store on Sunday where I end up paying a lot more.
All in all, AHP is the best tack store around if they have what you are looking for. The staff there has always been friendly and helpful.
