Los Angeles Horse Riding Adventures

By Heather Toms


It's questionable you will find the angels if you go hunting for them in L. A. , but you may have an angelic experience if you try some horseback riding in and around that city. California is not just the Golden State, it is also the Equine State, though there are a number of other American states that may lay claim to that title. If you can't find what you need in California by way of equine journeys, it doesn't exist elsewhere on the planet. It doesn't matter if you are looking for your first horseback experience, or your thousandth. It doesn't matter either if you're on your honeymoon, on an anniversary outing with your spouse or on a vacation with your family. Neither does it matter if you're part of a bunch of work colleagues, some club or organisation members. There isn't any difference, either, in your riding Western or English. If you are looking for horseback adventure, California has everything you want. And the area in and around LA is one of the equine hubs of the state.

Pony play in LA means golden beaches, astounding surf, great sunrises, stunning sunsets and a great deal of sunshine. You can canter or gallop along the beaches, take swimming/sun worshipping breaks and go in for a couple of more rides before you retire for a rest, a bath and a fabulous dinner. But that isn't all you can do in and around L. A.. You can head away from the town, to any of the hundreds of miles of trails leading everywhere and nowhere.

You can rush thru an hour's ride or you can take an extended holiday of a week or even more. You can join up in tours where they take you treasure hunting and antique buying. In the Town of Angels, you can also get customized toilet seats. You can do splendidly exotic things like ride the Topanga Canyons and soak up the stunning vistas of oaks, chaparral, sycamores and sage before dining at Abuelitas. If you are holidaying with your spouse, fiance or girlfriend, you can enjoy the most romantic of stays at the Inn of the Seventh Ray.

You can spend the day riding at some training stable or a pony club. You and your companions can learn riding for the first time or improve on your riding talents at a riding school. There's a lot to be said also about taking riding lessons in the evening at the Tumbleweed Twilight Riding Stables.

There's one exotic way to see inside Los Angeles: the trams. There is one far more exotic way to see the outside of Los Angeles: on horseback.

You can book your holiday thru any of thousands of travel agents, or you can do your own direct booking. Before you make a last call, make completely sure you are choosing the right package: check to see what it offers, what it costs, what costs are concealed and what restrictions exist (like age limitations and number of members of group restrictions). Get some testimonials. Perform a little research on just how pro the people you will be dealing with are. California is pony country, and the correct set of folk can make your trip a dream experience.
