From first-time riders to seasoned equestrians, our guided trail rides, lessons, and camps put you in the saddle for an unforgettable San Diego backcountry experience.
Celebrate life's milestones at the ranch. Weddings, birthdays, and team gatherings come alive with horses, open skies, and that easy country charm.
Our mission goes beyond riding. Through memberships and our 501(c) giving program we rescue, rehabilitate, and retire horses with the dignity they deserve.
Stay a while. Book a ranch Airbnb, pitch a glamping tent, or plan a full dude-ranch getaway for the whole family right here in San Diego.

Had a wonderful morning riding the trails accessed from the ranch. Beautiful part of the county and a true delight to ride through the SDTC facility. Next time… longer ride, today was a shorter ride, by our choice, due to the heat wave in the San Diego's east county. Still, was perfect and highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience celebrating my daughter's birthday with a horseback riding adventure! Our guide was incredibly nice, patient, and informative. She took the time to explain everything and was so gentle with my daughters, making them feel comfortable and confident. I really appreciated how she made their first horseback riding experience so cool and memorable. We will definitely be back again! Thank you for creating such a wonderful memory for our family!
