“Celebrated my birthday! I was thrilled and loved every minute. We did the Topanga canyon. . I admired how well those horses were cared for. Booked myself a ride for myself, my sister, my sister n law and friend into the Topanga canyon and it was stunning. The horses were perfect and our guide, Omar , delightful. We will be back! Omar was the absolute kindest and most interactive guide. He took pictures of our group, ensured we were all safe, communication was constant and overall beautiful ride. Thank you”

“It was our 1st time riding here and it was a wonderful experience! There were 3 of us & we were all very well matched to our horses based on our experience levels. We had Taliah (sp?) as our trail guide and she was A-MA-ZING!!! She was so accommodating and in tune with us & what we wanted. Master picture taker too! So please let her know we loved having her as our trail guide! Top notch place and I would definitely recommend this place!!!!!”

“We took a tour last week with Robert and it was amazing! He showed us great views, took amazing pictures, and gave us a lot of information about the horses and the wildlife in the area. The horses were extremely friendly and sweet, I had a chance to meet all of them and Washee was the perfect horse to ride. If you’re in the area I highly recommend you go here!!”
