HORSEBACK TRAIL RIDING AT EMBER RIDGE
We Welcome All Levels of Riders
At Coastside Horse Rides, we offer trail rides on horseback to the public at scheduled hours during the week and on the weekends @ $95 per person and private rides (by appointment) @ $195 per person. Beginners to advanced riders ages 8+ are all welcome! Please note, rides are subject to cancellation due to weather and trail conditions for the safety of riders and horses.
Our horses are seasoned veterans, safe, well-trained and friendly. On your scenic horseback riding adventure, you will ride up well-groomed trails which are part of the National Park Service's Rancho Corral de Tierra property including beautiful wooded trails with vista overlooks in the Rancho's 4,000+ acres of pristine Northern California wilderness. This area is home to towering eucalyptus, diverse ecosystems, and abundant wildlife and birds. Before you depart, you will learn basic horsemanship skills, safety tips and you are accompanied by a professional wrangler who will guide you through our extensive trail system in the Rancho.
