Why ride with High Horse Malibu?

Experience matters when you're trusting someone to put you on a horse.

High Horse Malibu has been taking guests horseback riding through the Santa Monica Mountains for over seven years. Our team brings more than 100 years of combined experience with horses, and our guides are chosen for both their horsemanship and their ability to make riders feel comfortable and confident.

We keep our groups intentionally small, and begin every ride with basic riding and safety instruction. Our horses are at the center of everything we do, and their care, health and suitability for the job come first.

The result is a horseback riding experience that feels personal rather than commercial, whether it's your first time on a horse or you've spent years in the saddle.
