My sister & I enjoyed our wrangler Bella! The ride itself was full of nature's peace and the oceans quiet healing powers. It was a beautiful private morning ride. Brought us back to our youth and the remember when and how we were raised with horses. Exactly what we needed. However, it felt short but it wasn't...we just wanted to do all day! read more

Los Padres Outfitters - Bella was our Wrangler and was super sweet! My sister and I enjoyed taking in the beautiful nature, ocean and peace surrounding us! - Horseback Riding Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Loved this experience. My partner took me for a little anniversary surprise and was unforgettable adventure! The horses were very calm & comfortable the whole time! The trainers with us were also calm and informative. I never felt unsafe or scared. It drizzled a bit, however, still had a great time! We stopped to have a little picnic that they prepared for us! Overall very professional & great experience read more

we have been riding horses for a good portion of our lives. it's very difficult to find a great outfit to go riding. Los Padres Outfitters is that amazing company. They will do anything to make your ride unforgettable. They even changed our ride from our 10:00 am ridenthat we had booked, to 1:00 pm, the night before our ride. Shaeli who guided us on our ride could not of have been nicer and knowledgeable. We had a amazing time and will be returning as often as possible read more

Fabulous! We loved our beach ride. What a lovely and unique experience. Our guide was lovely. She was so patient and kind, especially since I am not an experienced rider. My daughter is and this was her wish. I was going to spend time with her. The horses were excellent and gentle. I would highly recommend if you want to ride while in the area read more

Our guide Shelly (? - sorry if misspelled) greeted us promptly at the meeting point and had us saddled on Palominos "Root Beer" and "Montana" quickly, but comfortably, making sure our stirrups were property adjusted. She knew the horses well (as warned, Root Beer was a "snacker", uprooting and munching on tasty plants along the trail), and took us up into the hills past ranch homes and estates at the end of roads reading "Private - No Trespassing", accessible only by public horse trails. Eventually we emerged to panoramic views of the Pacific, where Shelly graciously took pictures to save the occasion. 90 minutes of relaxing and enjoying a side of the Santa Barbara region otherwise not usually seen read more

Amazing beach ride! The scenery was beautiful and the horses were great. Our guide, Veronika, was fantastic and shared so much interesting information about the horses and the area, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend! read more

Magical experience. Beautiful and well trained horses. Kind and fun staff. Epic trail with magical views.

This experience was definitely unforgettable, but here's a heads-up: it's not for beginners like they claim. You'll be riding up a mountain and along the beach at sunset, which is absolutely stunning and incredibly romantic! That said, the mountain ride is pretty strenuous, and I found it quite challenging, even though it was my second time here.My only critique is that the instructors could be more upfront about how demanding the experience can be. Overall, though, it's a breathtaking adventure if you're up for the challenge! read more

My sister and I took the beach ride with our Wrangler Camille. She was awesome, the horses were awesome and we had a blast!

We had an amazing guide, Emma, to guide our ride. She was very friendly and offered fun facts along the ride. She checked in to make sure we were still comfortable with our stirrups which is appreciated because sometimes you need them to be adjusted! The ride itself was gorgeous, we took a trail that passed by a lot of well-kept residential areas and had a picnic next to a polo club field. The trail was very exciting with some incline and decline that was a bit more challenging than what we've done before. Overall a VERY enjoyable ride. :) read more

Los Padres Outfitters - Root beer and Midnight, adorable horses who are best friends and love to snack. - Horseback Riding Near Me - Carpinteria, California

We were met by Morgan at Loon Point, all smiles and excited. Our daughter still didn't know she was going to get to ride the horses. Morgan came over and asked, "Do you want to ride a horse today?" and our daughter burst with joy and said YES YES YES!!!. Then we walked to the beach and it was amazing! They did five laps of the beach, and the sunset was spectacular. All the horses were so well-mannered. Edith's favorite was Root Beer and Savanah. Highly recommend Los Padres Outfitters; they are the best in the business. read more

We had the most magical experience on our sunset horseback ride along the beach! Our outfitter was phenomenal-so knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease, even if we were beginners. The horses were gentle and well cared for, as as we rode along the shore, the sky lit up with stunning oranges and pinks. It was pure magic- an unforgettable Valentines gift we'll treasure forever. read more

Was a fun time on the beach. Rode on a trail to and from the beach, so very limited time on roads that were safe. Our guide was very prepared, and wonderful. Will do this again! read more

Los Padres Outfitters offers the very best guides, the best horses, and the best riding experience in all of Santa Barbara County!

Spent almost what seemed a lifetime creating a memorable experience for our proposal. When I came across Los Padres Outfitters, their proposal package checked off everything on my list. Tessa (Owner) was super nice and had a ton of energy over the phone, sold me instantly. When it came to the proposal, THIS IS THE IDEAL PROPOSAL PLAN. We have family and friends still talking about it a month out and sharing it with other people. We are still the talk of the town! Our wrangler, another Tessa, was such a good actress, highly energetic and kept us engaged. She made us feel confident in the horse-back riding no matter the experience level and seamlessly transitioned us into the proposal. Proposal comes with horse-back riding (AMAZING RIDE AND VIEWS), proposal set-up (BEAUTIFUL), photos and videos (SO GOOD - THANK YOU LANY), and a lifetime of memories that will guarantee you a pat on the back from your future father in law. Guys, you will not regret making this decision! 10/10 would do it again and will be back for rides. read more

Graham and his wranglers are an outstanding team. Have always been provided capable healthy horses by LPO. Can't wait for my next ride.

I was planning to propose to my girlfriend and I knew I wanted to do a horseback ride. I came across Los Padres Outfitters and had the best experience. I called and spoke to Tessa who was EXTREMELY helpful. She explained the Proposal Package and walked me through their set up, which included a photographer. I was able to explain my vision for the proposal and she was able to adjust everything accordingly. My girlfriend, now fiancé, was surprised and loved the whole set up and horse back ride. The package consisted of a 1.5 hour private horseback ride, a 30 min photo shoot, flower arrangements with a blanket, pillows, cider, and a Marry Me sign. On the day of the proposal, everything went smoothly. It was a beautiful sunset ride which made it even better. I am truly thankful with Tessa for helping me with the process of planning and set up, With Elena for the private ride and photo shoot, And with Los Padres Outfitters for making our day very special. 1000% recommend!! read more

I booked the proposal package and proposed to my now fiancé with the help of Tessa and the greater Los Padres team. I can not recommend them enough!! From the very beginning, Tessa was so accommodating, walking me through what the special day would look like, coordinating special touches, and staying in constant communication to make the day perfect. It was such a unique experience to ride the horses right on the beach and share such a special moment. They had a photographer who helped capture the entire day as well. You don't have to hesitate here, as you're in good hands and you're going to have an amazing time. Will book again for sure! read more

Tessa, Toni, and Lani are an absolute joy to work with. I planned my dream proposal with Tessa and it could not have been any easier. Tessa had amazing communication, planning, and execution.

She made sure we were always safe and entertained throughout it ride and gave us plenty of fun facts along the way. Lani was a creative and experienced photographer, was super nice to work with. The edited proposal photos came out gorgeous and couldn't have asked for anything more. I highly recommend the Los Padres outfitters and their team for any event!

This was one of the best experiences of my life. Originally planned to do a beach ride but when the tide was too high they called us 2 hours before our ride and suggested we do a trail ride instead. It was BEAUTIFUL. Our guide Lucy was so sweet and took lots of great pictures for us. The trail tour takes you through private trails you wouldn't get to see otherwise. I cannot recommend this enough! read more
