This is where I train and has the most amazing trails with an Oceanview! Behind gates, please ask them for the a gate code. Extremely nice stables and the best trail rides ever through nature preserves. It’s 25 min drive along the ocean but worth it when you look at the pacific on horseback during a sunset ride! They only do it a couple times a week. It’s my happy place and my own horse is close by there!
