Sea Horse Ranch, Half Moon Bay

About Sea Horse Ranch

Sea Horse Ranch offers guided horseback riding along the sandy beaches and coastal trails of Half Moon Bay, on California's Pacific Coast Highway. Visitors ride for two hours, combining trail work with time on the beach. The ranch accepts riders as young as 7 years old and provides helmets for all participants. Riders must wear long pants covering the ankles and fully enclosed shoes with flat soles no higher than half an inch. Check-in occurs 30 minutes before departure and includes a full riding demonstration that all parties must watch before heading out. The ranch uses a height-to-weight proportion chart to ensure safe rider-horse matching. Tickets are sold online on the venue's site. The ranch sits within Half Moon Bay, known as the flower and pumpkin growing capital of the world, offering a scenic escape within an hour of San Francisco.
