Adventures on horseback at Ricochet Ridge Ranch

Horseback riding on California's beautiful Mendocino coast! Ricochet Ridge Ranch offers trail rides on the beach, in redwood forests, and across miles of pasture to bluffs overlooking the Pacific. Riders of all experience levels, from first timers to competitors, are welcome and will be matched with one of our exceptional horses. Group rides to the beach, lasting an hour, leave at 10:00 AM. 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM daily. 1 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour and all day private rides are available by appointment. We also offer multiple-day custom riding vacations with or without accommodations and meals, and 6 week-long Redwood Coast Riding Vacations.

Riders age 6 and up are welcome. We can generally accommodate groups of up to 10 riders on all rides.

Accommodations are available at a number of wonderful hotels, inns, and B&Bs nearby, and Ricochet can sometimes arrange discounted rates for Redwood Coast Riding Vacation and other multi-day vacation guests. Fort Bragg and Mendocino are full of great restaurants. For all day rides, we provide a picnic lunch on the trail.

Riders 6 and over are welcome. All riders must read and sign a release of liability. Riders under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign the release, which can be reviewed and printed out from our website or obtained at Ricochet. All riders are very strongly encouraged to wear a protective helmet, which will be provided.
