Sea Horse Ranch - Half Moon Bay, California

Thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Sea Horse Ranch. This was my first time ever on a horse and I was so nervous. Samuel was my guide and although it was a struggle in the beginning he was nice and reminded me to just relax. He even took tons of pictures of me while on the trials. Riding along the beach was such a great experience felt like I was in a movie. Definitely will be coming back again.

Most of the ride parallels the bike path but then goes through trees and through a river. The water was pretty high at the end of May, almost to my feet so shoes and pants were pretty wet but was still the highlight of the trip. The beach was pretty and getting up and down the bluffs to the sand was exciting. The best part was that because there were only 2 couples in our group the guides were able to hold our phones and take pictures of us the whole time. I was expecting to pay $40+ for the photos so this was a nice surprise.
I wish there was an opportunity to stop on the beach and get off for a few minutes. Do not expect to go riding off into the sunset or go at your own pace, even if you’re an experienced rider. The ride is a slow walk, single file and the horses follow the leader exactly. All you need to do is sit. Also, it would’ve been nice to be introduced to the animals and gotten some time with the guides. Literally the only thing they said was how to get on the horse and hold the reins, don’t do anything else. Knowing the horses name or getting any other information about the area where we were riding would’ve been nice.
If you go in knowing these things you won’t be disappointed. We did have a great time.

I had an amazing experience. I’m glad there was a no-phone policy because it allowed us to fully enjoy the moment. The photographer took great photos and didn’t rush us when we were choosing which ones to save on a flash drive. The $75 photo package was definitely worth it.

Awesome place. The ride itself was an exhilarating experience. A great combo of wading through water, stroll through meadows and walk on the beach with exciting climbs in between.

The horses could be a bit more maintained and well fed though. Poor things were grabbing at any snack that came there way during the trip. Some of them were somewhat snappy, but nothing to be afraid off.

I had an unforgettable horse riding experience on the beach! Willa was an exceptional instructor, providing clear guidance, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. The tour guides were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond by taking our phones to snap some amazing photos of me. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure!

Our guide was awesome. The horses were awesome too! The experience was wo Perfume and the ride was beautiful. I think my only complaint was i didn't get fitted well into my sterups(feet placement) broke we took off and the getting on and fitted process went so fast and rushed I didn't feel like I had a chance to make sure it was right. After the ride I realized why my knee was hurting and I think it was incorrect height adjustment for my feet. I would make sure you know how straight or bent your legs.should be before going to you know if it needs to be adjusted.
That said, I would do the ride again and with them.

This place was the best ride I have Ever had Samuel and his son
Were the best guides?They were very friendly And knowledgeable they took very good care of all of us on the ride They also made sure everybody Was safe And Enjoying their ride the whole way they took us on a great journey today Thank you so much for the perfect day. I was glad there was a no phone whole trip.We were able to concentrate on the ride and enjoy the full pleasure of Riding the horses And the pictures that we got from the photographer were Great and I could never have Captured such beautiful photos. Like he did, he got different angles. Different positions, different places on the ride.
Something I never could have done. I Had the best day ever

I had a great time, I wish we had a little free time when we got on the beach but we had to stay in single line and walk a little and then turn around and go back. But it was beautiful day. It made me want to go back again. But then again if it's the same trail it might not be as fun. First they had more fun things to do while your horseback riding
