There is something incredibly special about riding a horse by the ocean. Life becomes simpler, yet more magical; the pounding of the waves and smell of salty, sea air suddenly becomes more than things you perceive. It all comes together, seamlessly, hinting at a much bigger mystery mankind has yet to discover. High above the Pacific, in the hills of the Marré Ranch, you will enjoy an incredible view that seems to stretch on forever as your guide leads you to some of the most unique, unforgettable locations in California. We have 3 amazing rides to choose from, which are described in detail below.
