we were looking forward to the highly rated horse riding in the sand, and it was lovely, but we only got to ride for just over 1 hour. ( they advertise 1 hr. 30 min. !!)and most of that was getting to and from the beach. We felt cheated and wished to have only paid him $ 35 instead the... more

This was our second visit to the Ranch and we were not disappointed! My 13 year old daughter and I rode for 2 days - a four hour forest ride and a full day beach and forest ride. We have two years experience riding and Chris, our guide, pushed us to the limit in the best possible way. The scenery... more

For those of you experienced riders looking for a unique riding vacation....don't look any further than Richochete Ridge Ranch. Horses are well taken care of, nicely mannered, and extremely fit. Lari and staff match your skill level with the horse that you ride. We rode through beach, forest and cattle ranch. We sometimes took very long canters and gallops up... more

Unfortunately a young girl kept falling off and had to walk back which slowed things even more and when... more

The staff was friendly and accomodating. The horses were well cared for and in good spirits. Be sure to bring along your camera as the guide will stop to take pictures of you by the ocean. more

Suffice to say, I was not disappointed! The riding was fantastic, plenty of time in the saddle and well-conditioned and well-trained horses. I had never... more

The inn-to-inn, weeklong ride offered by Ricochet Ridge was a wonderful experience, from the first-rate B&B accommodations, to the fabulous meals, to the truly fit horses we rode through the redwoods and on the beach. Although the group was large (about 30) we often split up into sub-groups according to how long and hard we wanted to ride. Cantering up... more

I have been on trail rides in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado but this one was far and away my best riding experience. The staff was extremely helpful to me and I was very impressed by the expertise they displayed and the knowledge they possessed. Certainly I and the other riders were in highly capable hands. I have been on other... more

Hi Lari and Noel, Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you thanks again! We had an unforgettable time horse backing last month in Mendocino. I can't help but smile when I look at the horseshoe in my kitchen window that Noel gave us as a souvenir. We are beginner riders and had such a great time riding... more
