Serene, Enchanting, Invigorating!
ENJOY A ONE-HOUR HORSEBACK RIDE ALONG THE SANTA YNEZ RIVER.
Go back in time to Old California on a quiet, unspoiled and rustic ride through nature. Perfect for families, couples and horse lovers of all ages.
Riders depart our cozy stable nestled along the tranquil Santa Rita Hills canyon, cross the river, then head toward a bustling beaver dam, all the while encountering abundant wildlife (eagles, deer, beavers) flourishing in their natural surroundings.
Rides offered daily year-around. No riding experience necessary. All horses and ponies are retired champion show, rodeo or race horses, so it’s fun for advanced riders, too. Rides are small group or private.
Kids age 8 and over can join the trail ride if they have some previous riding experience. All kids 8-13 will get their own mount and be attached by lead line to their own guide. *
THE MAGICAL PONY ENCOUNTER
Kids age 2 to 12 love our one-hour Pony Encounter which is a safe and fun way to learn about horses, including a guided pony ride around our arena and now including the option to go for a short trail ride. Unicorn available on request! Great for parties, family outings and group activities and only $79 per child.
