I've read the reviews posted and I imagine there might be some truth in people's opinion. I think the worst part is that if these horses are improperly cared for then some decent person should notify and request the proper agency to take a look at these animals and implement corrections if necessary. The answer isn't ---do nothing but complain... More

I took my girlfriend there to get out of the city and do something different. I heard of this place from a friend who is less than 200 lbs. It is $25 to ride for a hr. I’m not fat but I’m not small either. I weigh 313 lbs and it would cost me $135 hr. That is the dumbest... More

I've come here a lot. I'm an experienced rider, and can't find any places that allow horseback riding faster than walking or trotting. So I go to this place. I'm pretty shy, so I hate it when some guides try to "strike up" conversations with you. Sure it's not scenic, but that's not really what I'm looking for. I'm looking... More

This is a must do every time we take the kids to LA. Kids as young as 2 or 3 can ride a horse around a track for just a few bucks. Not the tiny ponies that are chained into a circular corral but a real horse! Right next to this attraction is the trrain ride and the rest of... More

Well informed, professional. Horses and trails for any experience level. One of my favorite things about Griffith Park Horse Rentals is that the horses have food available all of the time which is important to their health and to their sense of well being because they are grazing animals. As a horse person I also appreciate that these horses get... More

I have been around and ridden horses all my life, which doesn't mean that I am perfectly comfortable getting up on a strange horse and riding up a trail. I think, for the not-so-experienced riders, sometimes less knowledge is better. I was first turned off to this stable because of their weight limit policy. I get it--hauling over 200 pounds... More

We have been horse back riding many times and have enjoyed the experience, however this stable was AWFUL. Not only were the conditions bad but my children were almost severely injured. the first sign that things were off was that they had my older son step on a scale because of a ridiculous charge for people over 200 lbs (which...

These horses are beautiful, well cared for and do a great job. The stable is clean, airy and refreshing. The staff is patient, professional and attentive. THE PRICE CANNOT BE BEAT. Any self-centered, selfish and cheap people who gripe about the weight limit need a big reality check. The fact is, Griffith Park Horse Rentals does a great job in... More
