What a weekend! This was a reunion of 3 women who hadn't seen each other since college in 1973 on the East coast-what a trip. Mick is very helpful and friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. We had a wonderful 1 1/2 hour Sunset ride with our guides Sherrie and Heather. We are all somewhat experienced as riders,...

I had a wonderful time at Outback Trail rides. Mick was an incredibly attentive guide; even though he lead the pack, he was constantly looking back and checking in with everybody. I felt incredibly safe and didn't once feel uneasy. The views are absolutely GORGEOUS. I went on the two hour ride and highly recommend it. I was staying in... More

I can't thank Mick enough for making this ride extremely enjoyable. A friend who is an experienced rider and I saw a great review about Outback Tralis and decided to try it. The horses were matched perfectly for us. She had a great ride and was allowed to canter her horse while Mick held mine back a bit and allowed... More

Great horses. i am a rider and my horse was in my control and a got a litlle run.. Mick is friendly and fun to be with and really engages. The country side is great and the burgerand wine at Cass is top of the line. A real foodie place. I will return. It is great.

I am an experienced rider and am usually very reluctant to go on trail rides which, in my opinion, are usually very boring with horses that would rather be elsewhere. Our ride with Mick, however, was a very nice experience. While friendly and easy to handle, the horses had some spunk and it felt like a real ride rather than... More

Mick and Heather our guides were wonderful! The horses were appropriately matched with our comfort and experience. Even though we went during the off season, the weather was beautiful. We took a tour of Cass Vineyards and the views were great. My husband and I had a great time! We will book another ride the next we are in the... More

In Cambria for Thanksgiving weekend and rode horses with friends of ours. Horses at Outback Trail Rides were well looked after, healthy, trim and mild mannered. Mick the owner and Heather had an obvious love for their job. They made the ride interesting pointing out land marks and giving a history of the land. We took the sunset ride which... More

I got put on a horse that needed to go on a diet and made my ride excruciating, the guide was very nice, however, and it was close to where we stayed, next time I will not keep quiet and ask for a skinner horse.

I have bee horse back trail riding about 6 times. This was by far the best experience. We had an awesome guide, Mick. He is super friendly and let us go a little fast a few times, which was so fun. The horses were all well behaved. The view was phenomenal. The hour and a half we spent for 75... More

We stopped here on our drive up the coast from LA to SF. It was a cool ride, despite the fact that my husband and I had not ridden horses since childhood! The horses were very mild-mannered and clearly are used to each other's temperaments- mine was "in a mood" the evening of our ride and liked to get very... More
