Horseback riding in Santa Barbara is one of the best ways to enjoy the area’s diverse landscape. From relaxing sunset beach horseback rides on low tides to remote backcountry getaways, it’s easy to hop in the saddle and see a new side of Santa Barbara.
From leisure to luxury, this activity will leave a lasting memory. Saddle up in the scenic Santa Ynez Valley. Here, riders often pair their afternoon with a few stops at local wineries. Or, if you’ve always dreamed of a horseback ride along the beach, Summerland Beach is the perfect spot to trot along the coastline.
Wherever you choose, explore Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas the old fashioned, but highly enjoyable way—on horseback.
