Ocean Park Ranch

My wife took me today — had a great time! The horses are well looked after and obviously the owners have a passion to make sure the experience is worth the price of admission.

Wonderful experience. Both Dawn and Mike certainly know their horses and keep you safe. The one hour ride was beautiful and today was a great day for a guided horseback ride tour. Ours was in Granada Hills and the trails were great. We will be back. Thank you Dawn for explaning everything that we both needed to know and for sharing your beautiful animals. Thank you Mike for following up the rear to protect both Cory and I from the possibility of someone spooking the horses.

Found Ocean Park Ranch after looking over some deal sites and then doing a search on Unilocal for horseback riding in LA. The reviews were great and the idea of a private type ride sold me. I checked out their website and found a lovely deal for 2 people to ride for an hour. I called Dawn to book our ride and we were set for a Saturday at Porter Ranch. We met Dawn and Mike at the trail head and were greated promptly and genuinely. Dawn went over some info with us and had us fill out the necessary paperwork and pick out our helmets.
I got to ride the lovely Thoroughbred Kasey and my bf rode Cody. Dawn and Mike introduced us to our rides and had us start out in the corral before venturing out; just to get acquainted with our horses and I’m sure to give our guides an idea of our skill level.
I am an experienced rider and my boyfriend has been on a horse a couple times, so we were on our way once they got on their horses.
Lovely trail to ride on and great for beginner riders. And a great introduction to laid back and pleasant folks that took us on our ride. All in all a very relaxing experience. I will definitely book future rides on some other trails they offer. The nice thing about this outfit is no nose to tail ride, no large groups of inexperienced riders, and wonderful folks and healthy happy horses. Truly lovely people who also care greatly for their horses and your enjoyment as well.

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday
Growing up riding on a farm in the Midwest — I didn’t know what to expect I would find in the middle of the vast urban sprawl of Los Angeles
To my surprise, these folk are super down to earth and awesome.
I have to say I had a great time

What a great experience. You can tell that Dawn loves her horses and takes very good care of them. We will definitely be going back for a future ride.

Horseback riding, a livingsocial purchase, private lesson for 2 for $ 119. I am so there. Giddy-​up! The livingsocial was for Aliso Ranch in Porter Ranch, but come to find out, there are 2 or 3 other locations available, if needed. Greeted by Dawn and Mike upon arrival, they are so nice! If fact, nice is not enough. They are caring, concern for safety, and very accommodating.
My date had Cody, and I, Kasey K – both so adorable. After a short 5 minute «get to know» the horse inside the stable, we took off down the trail. Dawn led, then me, then my date, and trailed behind by Mike. Both Dawn and Mike gave us clear instructions and help.
The ride is easy and beautiful with a few little creeks that were a little hairy to go down and up. Shaded with intermittent trees, has some hikers, people with dogs, and an occasional other horse. Dawn and Mike gave clear instruction and great communication to each scenario.
1 hour was plenty. I was so sore after 45 minutes. But, would I do it again? Hell yes! So fun!
Tips
——
1. Check their website for specials.
2. 18 and over only
3. Bring peppermint –the horses love it. Give it to Dawn and Mike to reward the horses at a later time.
4. Jacuzzi time after!

This was such a relaxing ride. They were so patient when teaching us to ride. I was especially excited to ride a horse with my name, Kasey K, my boyfriend rode Cody the magnificent I would definitely do this a second time!

First let me say Dawn and Mike were so awesome in making this experience that much more amazing. They were incredibly informative and made my first riding experience so comfortable and relaxing :) I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we just had a wonderful relaxed ride and just highly recommend this to anyone!!!

Dawn and mike are awesome! My girlfriend and I had a great time! The horses we had were very fun to ride!

We had a FABULOUS time last Saturday morning riding with Dawn & Mike. Kasey K and Cody are sweet and beautiful horses and we had a great time. Will definitely do it again when we have some free time. Thank You Dawn, Mike, Kasey, & Cody.

It takes me about two weeks to find such place as Dawn and Mike offer!
No groups, individual care — exactly what I was wanted to show about horses to my BF for his BDay ride.
He never rode before, it was his first horseback ridding experience and he got Cody — cute and experienced grey gelding. I think they found each other ;)
I’m an experienced rider and in a saddle for about 10 years. Dawn give me Kasey K — she’s exactly what I like! Will be nice and cute horse, but if you pretend that you know what to do with horses — Kasey K will double check that ;)
It was amazing relaxing trail in Aliso Canyon with shades and great views. We enjoy this horseback ride. It was great!
Dawn and Mike take a good care about their horses! They love them and horses give it back.
Best place to spend time with horses away from city bustle.
Will definitely try to find time and visit their other locations to meet them once again!
P. S. don’t forget grab few carrots or apples to give it horses. They love it!

We had such a nice time with Dawn and Mike. The whole experience was great and very relaxing. I felt very comfortable on my horse and I didn’t want it to end! Loved every minute!

Amazing experience. Dawn and Mike provided an informed, educational, relaxed, challenging trail ride over the course of an hour. Horses were top quality, well groomed, gentle and responsive to even 2 beginners like my girlfriend and I.
Highly recommended!

Awesome memories! 1^st time riding and the trainers made it easy to learn. Trail was nice and calming. Will highly recommend this and personally I will be going back soon :)

I purchased a Group on for Ocean Park a couple months back. Due to weather cancellations and my personal schedule moving to another state, I had asked for a refund due to lack of time to reschedule. With that said Dawn refunded me my $ in full and still offered to give me a ride at no charge if I had time before I move. I scheduled a riding date with only a couple days notice and had a wonderful time and the horses
are well trained and taken care of. I had a great time and the little special touches which included them bringing sunscreen, bottled water and See’s suckers for the ride were thoughtful. Definitely recommend! Perfect for couples, friends and/​or individuals!

My sister and I took a trail ride with Dawn and Mike. The horses are great – the kind you would like to own yourself. Mine was a leggy grey Thoroughbred with smooth gaits. My sister was on an alert, but bomb-​proof Quarter Horse with a sweet disposition. This is a custom trail-​ride — -not the kind where the horses plod in line down a boring path. You will see beautiful woods, and canyon views. The tack is new, the horses clean, and the helmets comfortable. We were not disappointed.
