Come see us here at Wagon Wheel Ranch. We offer 1 hour and 2 hour horseback rides, ½ day and FULL day rides, also, Moonlight rides. We do PARTIES too!! There are many sights to see along the Palos Verdes Peninsula. You will not believe the wild and pristine countryside you will visit inside of a Metropolitan area such as Los Angeles County on horseback. Palos Verdes Peninsula has scenic hillside views, meadows of wildflowers and wildlife, Red Foxes, Red Tail Hawks, Squirrels, Blue Jays and Peacocks just to name a few. Pat also has some friends you can meet along the way, a Donkey named Burrito, Goats, Sheep and other barnyard friends. We would love to have you come along to meet our winged and furry friends. Our half-day rides will take you to the tops of the hills where you can see the California coastline and Catalina Island. As you come back down the trail you can see the panoramic views of Redondo Beach, Malibu and Pacific Ocean on horseback! This will be an experience you will never forget! The adventure is waiting for you. Come on out with us for a nature trail ride on horseback. This is a rare opportunity! Once you come out we guarantee you will be back for more.

At Wagon Wheel Ranch we will assist you with the choosing of an appropriate saddle, tacking up and de-tacking the horse ensuring that the saddle is not too tight or too loose. Hoof care and the proper way to bridle and unbridle a horse will also be demonstrated with a hands-on experience before and after your trail ride.

Our horses are gentle and are suited for the beginner to experienced riders. We will ride at your pace. Our rides are perfect for people of all ages and horseback riding abilities. We ride all ages, have no weight limits and are flexible to meet your needs. Horseback riding at Wagon Wheel Ranch is relaxing and safe! We have horses to match every guest’s ability. So, let’s saddle up and enjoy a scenic trail ride!

Our all day rides take you further up into the hills and wind back down to Wagon Wheel Ranch. The extended ride will allow you to see all the sights that the Palos Verdes Peninsula has to offer on horseback. We will also provide a picnic lunch for a nominal fee or you can bring your own.

At Wagon Wheel Ranch we will mount you on one of our beautiful and gentle horses. We can schedule a private ride, just for you or a group ride. Once we return to Wagon Wheel Ranch our horses will also get a treat that you will give them after your ride. Wagon Wheel Ranch believes it is important for everyone to have a positive experience with horses.
