We never ride in large groups. Six people max in a group so that your experience with us will be a more enjoyable one! Unless your own party is larger than that - we can accommodate up to 12 riders at a time. Any group with more than 6 riders will have a second trail guide.
Private rides are available.
All our horses are much loved . They are our friends and are treated as such. They are all happy and healthy. When you visit you will see what we mean.
Please review our reservation and riding policy prior to your visit to our ranch.
So pick a time that's right for you. Ouroperating hours are roughly from eight in the morninguntil dusk. All our groups are SMALL,
Our horses are beautiful - well groomed and always eager to go for a ride! We ride seven days a week and are open on most Holidays. Ask us about our Picnic and BBQ Rides! Children must be age 7 years or older to ride. No exceptions. We have horses for all levels of experience!
We're an easy drive from the Valley or the West Side.
Close to both PCH and the 101 on the other side.

All rides are guided - there are no exceptions.
Many of our clients are repeat customers, so that says a lot about our ranch, the trails, horses and staff.
The trails are a part of the Santa Monica Mountain Backbone Trail. Absolutely gorgeous, views in every direction. An old "Pony Express Depot" was part of what today is our trail route. On a clear day, you've got valley, mountain and ocean views.
The sundown and moonlight rides are breathtaking and we have an thriving population of hawks, deer, coyotes, as well as rare Mexican Xoloitzcuintli.
We ride rain or shine, trail conditions permitting. All rides are western tack (no English). Children 7 and older are welcome, kids 17 years of age and younger must wear helmets. All guests 18 years of age and older must show a Driver's License or a state ID.
What to wear and bring with you: Long pants and boots or tennis shoes are mandatory. High heels and open-toe/heel shoes (sandals, flipflops, clogs, etc.) are not acceptable and we can not let a guest ride in inappropriate footwear. No bags (including purses), packs or unsecured sweaters, sweatshirts or hats, sunglasses and heavy jewelry can go up on the trail, so it's best to leave those at home or in the car. We'll try to accommodate water bottles if they fit in the guide's saddlebag. We do not allow cameras or cell phones on the trail or ranch. If you bring a camera or cell phone onto the property, you will be asked to take it back up to the car. We offer 1 group picture for every reservation. We do have weight restrictions, so please let us know at the time of your booking if any members of your party are over 200 pounds. We will try to accommodate most riders. However a limited number of horses are available for heavier riders. All rides are by phone reservation only - so be sure to call and book ahead!
Same day reservations are possible, however it always helps to have notice, so we suggest that you book about three or so days in advance. In summer we only book mornings and late afternoon/evenings, so the weekend schedule gets really full.

But again - just call and see if we've got openings for when you want to ride.
We're really pretty accommodating if possible. It's that kind of place.
