“Had an absolute giddy-up of a time at High Horse Malibu! This ride really gave us some great memories. Emily and Anna were fantastic guides: friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the whole group feeling safe and relaxed. The trail was beautiful and scenic, and we totally lucked out with perfect weather. My horse, “Cowboy,” was a real sweetheart - calm, friendly, and clearly a pro at showing guests the reins. All around, this was such a treat and a great way to spend the day. We’ll definitely be back in the saddle again soon!”

“Had such a good time at High Horse Malibu. I went on a trail ride with my best friend. The group was just us, our guide Isabella, and a couple. The views were so great between the mountains and ocean. The horses were so sweet, calm and well cared for (we rode Pepper and Bismarck). Isabella was a great guide. She was very helpful and made the experience very easy. Beginner friendly experience but still enjoyable for all skill levels. Would recommend to anyone wanting to take a fun trail ride in the Malibu area.”

“I had an amazing time on the ocean-view trail ride with Isabella, who was so sweet and so thorough with explaining the basics of riding to us beginners. The horses were soooo sweet, docile, and healthy (I had the best - Pepper) which was my priority when picking a company to ride with. Very organized, prompt, and clean facility. Isabella also took the best pics when we got to the main lookout spot!!! Will definitely be booking in the future again.”
