Saddle up and explore the backcountry and panoramic splendor of the Santa Clara Valley. Retrace the trails used by generations of cowboys and oilmen. See our local treasures up close: Topa Topa Mountains, Santa Paula Peak, and the Santa Clara River.
We offer 90-minute and 2 hour horseback riding excursions. After a quick assessment of your riding level, it’s time to mount up for a great tour! The group will wind its way through wheat-colored pastures, groves of avocado trees and into the wooded hills of nearby canyons. The abundant bird life will amaze you – finches, road runners, migratory wild duck, herons, red-tailed hawks, the occasional falcon. You’ll stop for light refreshments and view the patchwork of green fields stretching from the blue gem of the Pacific Ocean to the brown contrasts of the Topa Topa Mountain Range facing you. Then wind your way back to the stables through stands of 100-year old oak trees and cactus.
Our guides - and our horses - are local characters, so get ready for some fun and a unique introduction to the Southern California ranch lifestyle!
We accept reservations for a minimum of 2 persons up to parties of 50. We ask that you make reservations 48 hours in advance, though we will make every effort to accommodate last-minute requests. Complimentary water and light snacks are provided. We encourage our guests to wear appropriate footwear (boots, shoes with heels, or sturdy sneakers), long pants (Shorts are not recommended), hats and sunscreen.

| Chuck Wagon Lunches for parties of 15 or more. From an authentic chuckwagon, we serve Santa Maria-style barbecue on original tin cowboy plates for that true local flavor. Roping Demonstrations or Vaquero Lectures by true Southern California cowboys can also be arranged to provide lunchtime entertainment for the whole group! |
