City of Norco
As a horse community in Riverside County and with the motto, "HorseTown USA", there are few sidewalks in Norco. Rather, there are horse trails, and riders can ride to town and tie up the horses at corrals and hitching rails! There is a large cement mural with reliefs of horses, and city ordinances dictate that the city's architecture shall reflect a Western theme that is rural, traditional, rustic, informal, low-profile, and equestrian oriented.
Media Team
The media team covering the Norco Mounted Posse Rodeo will be comprised of the Earnhardt Auto Centers, Ak-Chin Indian Community, Papa John's Road Team, and the Cowboy Lifestyle Network. The latter is the community and leading online source for everything rodeo, country music, and cowboy related.
