It was an incredible experience!
The best thing about Moss Beach Ranch is the love and care they give to their horses. The horses are well-fed, well-treated, and never forced to work if they’re not in the mood, which was truly wonderful to see.
The owners thoughtfully matched each rider with a horse based on personality, making the experience feel very personal and special. The trail ride itself was peaceful, with rich views and beautifully changing landscapes throughout.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mindful, ethical, and unforgettable horseback riding experience.

My husband and I went on a trail ride with Kim. It was really amazing! We’re in love with Kim’s horses, Buck and Chilly Dog. The ranch has a beautiful ocean view and trails through radish and mustard flower meadows. A owl/ falcon caught its prey and flew over our head. It was a magical moment. Kim is a very inspiring person. she showed so much care and love for the horses. We’re so grateful for the experience !☺️
