The people were VERY good with th kids and the horses were absolutly AMAZING. The best part no need to be an experienced rider.

I always wanted to ride a horse on the beach and Ricochet Ridge exceeded my expectation. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, which definitely added to my overall experience! I had a 1 1/2 hr private ride with the lovely Vida, who was a most pleasant and informative guide. I have always been fond of horses although I haven't been... More

I was looking for places to ride in California and this place in Mendocino came up so we decided to try it out and booked an all day private. Evidently, "all day" means different things to different people because while the ride itself was good, it was a lot shorter than I was previously told it would be by the... More

We went on a three hour private beach ride with Vida, riding Cloud and Voltaire, two very mellow and accomodating horses for a couple of greenhorns and had an amazing time! Vida was patient, entertaining and instructive, we could not have had a better host for our outing. A truly memorable experience, we can't say enough good things about Vida... More

I figured I should at least try out how much endurance I have on a horse here in my home state first before I take that adventure. Gotta love California for its scenery. Horseback riding on the coast? Yes! It happened to be the... More

Had to share our amazing trip with Vida from Ricochet Ranch this past weekend! Not only were the horses so well conditioned and wonderful but Vida and her daughter Taylor were absolutely by far the friendliest most wonderful people we met all weekend! She takes the time to match up all riders to horses which are perfect for your skill... More

We had a wonderful guide named Vida who was very friendly. Beautiful trailride on the Mendocino coast! We will be back for a 4 hour ride soon
