    Private Horse Ride in Santa Barbara

    Saddle up for one of SoCal’s most unforgettable experiences—a private horseback ride along the stunning shores of Loon Point. Recently spotlighted by CNN Travel as one of the “3 Things You Must Do in SoCal,” this ride is all about secluded coastal beauty, happy horses, and serious bucket-list vibes. Departing from the breathtaking Loon Point, you’ll be paired with a gentle, retired show horse who now spends its days doing what it loves—guiding guests like you along pristine stretches of sand with ocean views for days.

    The ride is 75 minutes, andd guests now enjoy more time directly on the beach. The meeting point has been moved to the state park parking lot adjacent to the shoreline (previously a mile up the street, which took 20–30 minutes just to reach the sand). This update is a big improvement and makes the ride both more enjoyable and safer.

    What’s included:
    • Private 75-minute ride
    • A happy, clean, and well-cared-for horse (yep, they’re living their best life)
    • Expert guide to lead the way—no experience needed!
    • Instagram-worthy photo ops around every corner

    You’ll ride past rolling hills, dramatic bluffs, and open beaches that feel like your own secret paradise. If beach conditions shift, don’t worry—our Coastal Bluff ride is just as epic and ensures you never miss out on the views. Whether it’s your first time in the saddle or you’re a seasoned equestrian, this is coastal California like you’ve never experienced it before—raw, wild, and ridiculously beautiful.

    • Children age 2-11 are welcome to do our Kids Horse Encounter, which is a 90-minute lesson that involves our Miniature Horses and ponies. The kids learn to lead, tie, groom, tack and work with the horses. They are then provided either a pony-cart ride with the Miniatures, or a guided saddle-ride on the ponies. This option is the ideal introduction to horses as it helps the kids overcome the fear of being around horses. 
    • If there is a high tide, you can choose the Coastal Bluffs ride as an alternative. Children aged 12 and over are welcome on both the Coastal Bluffs and Beach Rides, while children aged 6 to 12 may participate on a case-by-case basis, depending on their riding experience and ability to handle a 4-mile ride
