Did the 1 1/2 hour beach ride along the surf and saw adult/baby sea lions. It was awesome. Vida our guide, made the experience that much better, she was great, very knowledgeable. Next time we'd love to do the whole day tour thru the redwoods and again on the beach. The horses are well groomed & kept and want to... More

This trip is not to be missed. The drive to Mendocino / Ft Bragg was incredible taking the 128 to the US 1. The different scenery's that you drive throuh is nothing short of incredible. My wife and I had a great guide in Noel. We are still beginners on horse back and Noel made us feel cofortable the whole... More

My husband and I visited California for the first time for our 1 year anniversary. We are so glad we went horse back riding with RRR as a part of our trip. We saw beautiful scenery, seals and deer. Could not have been more pleased! More

I just love it! I did a whole day riding through the forest and one and a half hour on beach. Both experience were just awesome! This was my first trail riding and both of my guides are great, they know what they're doing. My horse (Nitecap) was super!! I wish I had more time, I would add another 3... More

The rides on the beach are great, and it's nice to ride horses that aren't feisty or trying to toss you in the bushes. More

I searched and searched for a riding experience when I was visiting San Diego from Cleveland, Ohio. I wanted to start the new year on horseback. The only Ranch that interested me due to the reasonable cost and riding experience was 10 hours away. I decided to go for it and make the journey to Ricochet Ridge Ranch. The owner,... More

And it was a perfect way for us to end a great year and begin another one, also! I'm so glad you enjoyed riding Nightcap with Vida. We look forward to meeting your "kids" when you come back to ride with them. Happy trails, Lari More

I must admit, I am a repeat offender.....I first rode at RRR 10 years ago and try to make it back as often as I can. As a long time rider, I may have had greater expectations for an equestrian experience than many riders and all of these expectations were met and then some. The horses were sensible, responsive to... More

I have ridden at RRR with Lari Shea and her guides four times now and have my fifth trip planned in April. It's hard to describe how magical and wonderful it is to ride in the redwoods and on the beach in northern CA. It is because Lari's horses are so well cared for and in such fabulous shape that...

I have been going back to this ranch to ride again and again since 1987! The horses are fit and happy, the scenery is spectacular and the hospitality is divine. I've ridden in France, Australia and other places in the states, and this beats 'em all. Good long days, and then fabulous food. And, I learned more about horses and... More

They made accommodations for me to have a solo ride on less than an hour's notice (bad planning on my part). James, my guide, was knowledgeable, personable, and safety minded in a laid back kind of way. Poncho, my horse, was spunky, smooth even on a walk, and listened to my direction very well. It was windy and the horses... More
