About

Riders take 2-hour or 1.5 hour trail and beach rides, including riding a horse along the sandy shores of the Pacific, along the Coastal Equestrian Trail, and on Half Moon Bay’s Poplar Beach. Rides go down the Coastal Equestrian Trail, onto the bluffs above the ocean, and onto Poplar Beach.

One parent review from Cheryl F. on Tripadvisor describes a 1.5 hour trail and beach ride as a beautiful way to spend time, noting that staff were helpful, very friendly, and took pictures on riders’ phones. Another review from Megan K. on Tripadvisor states that the guides did a great job of keeping the group together and making the ride fun, with beautiful views. A review from Nette M. on Tripadvisor notes that it was a first time riding for a parent and daughter and that the staff made them feel at ease and were very friendly. A review from Maria T. on Tripadvisor states that the guides pay close attention to riders, especially young riders, that the scenery and beach are beautiful, that the horses are well kept and clean, and that photos taken and offered for purchase are described as exceptional.
