Ricochet Ridge Ranch

If you want gorgeous scenery with fantastic horses this is the place to go. My husband and I went on one of their week long riding vacations and I had the time of my life. We all had safe well trained horses that were nice to look at but also fun to ride. Lari led us cantering along the beach in the surf and then up into the redwood forest. We went through cattle ranches and rivers then past virgin redwood trees. My favorite part was cantering up the mountains on very fit Arabians. Lari has the vacation well organized so that I could go on longer rides each day and my poor husband, more of a beginner, could go with a different group on a shorter ride. Then we would meet up at points during the day and for a picnic lunch. The nice part was that you could switch groups during the day. The guides are very knowledgeable and can help give you instruction along the ride. At night there were different places to stay with great food and entertainment. In the morning you woke up sore but exhilarated to go explore another trail.
