Ricochet Ridge Ranch on the California
Coast -
A Great Get-Away for Southwest Residents
Have you ever imagined yourself cantering for miles in
the surf along a deserted beach? Or meandering under
giant virgin Redwoods as you explore the breathtaking
coastal mountain ranges? The sense of open-ness
experienced as you pass through vast cattle ranches?
Feeling as one with your spirited yet gentle mount?
These dreams can come true with Ricochet Ridge Ranch,
located just north of Fort Bragg on the ruggedly
beautiful Mendocino Coast.
Whether you’re an avid rider, or complete beginner,
Ricochet Ridge Ranch has something to offer you.
Their quality horses are trained English and Western,
and many have a successful competitive background in
endurance or dressage. Rides range from one and a half
hours to all week. Their knowledgeable guides are on
hand to help you improve your riding skills, teach you
about the local flora and fauna you encounter along the
way, and enlighten you on the rich history of the
Mendocino coast.
Daily rides are offered from the ranch opposite
MacKerricher State Park and start from just $45.00 pp.
Visit harbor seals as they sunbathe on rocky shoreline
prominences. Off shore, mighty Grey Whales shoot spouts
skyward as they frolic on their migratory route. Watch
the skies above to glimpse sea gulls, cormorants, heron,
and more… And the sunset is spectacular by horseback! Or
ride through majestic Redwood Forests, where ferns,
mosses and wild mushrooms grace the under-growth in the
Fall, as do trillium, redwood orchard and wild
iris in the Spring. They have hundreds of miles of
trails, through cattle ranches, along mountain
ridges, and deep into the redwoods.
Redwood Coast Riding Vacations include lodging at unique
Inns, riding every day, fine-dining including choice
California wines, and lots of camaraderie.
