CRC Trails by Horseback

---

CRC Trails by Horseback is located on the corner of De Portola Road and Anza Road at The CRC Ranch.  Parking is available on the corner, do not drive into The CRC. 

We try to be very flexible and customize each ride to suit your needs! We inquire about rider weights upon scheduling booking, and reserve the right to refuse any rider for horse availability, saddle fit availability, or staff perceived inaccuracies on the ride’s date. Rider and horse safety is at our top priority, and while we have a variety of horse and saddle sizes, we cannot always accommodate every circumstance. Please have discretion and inquire when booking if you are uncertain. 

Once again, we prioritize the safety of our guests, our staff, and our horses. Certain ages, disabilities, health concerns, etc. can be quite dangerous on a horse, and if we are going to need additional help/ a more hands-on ride experience, we DO need to know well in advance. If you have had a recent surgery, have a chronic physical ailment, or are impaired in a manner that would affect your comfort and control of a horse, that is something that we need to know BEFORE your ride for your safety and the safety of our staff and horses. We will do our best to accommodate specific circumstances, but we need to be aware of anything that may physically affect your ability to complete your ride, and reserve the right to deny a rider the full-length or entirety of a ride who has not disclosed this. We know aches and pains happen and horseback riding uses a different set of muscles than most, but please use discretion to keep your health and the safety of the entire crew as top priority. We are a customizable operation, but please let us know upon booking if there are concerns that may affect an individual’s ability to ride a horse. 

Rides can be tailored to “pick up the pace” at the discretion of the wrangler. Please note that the wrangler will only allow more advanced riders to move to a trot or a lope to ensure horse and rider safety. Multiple groups may also be on a single ride, which can affect the pace as well.

Due to the unique nature of our operation, we carefully select and haul the necessary horses for the day. We are unfortunately not able to accommodate last minute additional riders for this reason, and cancellations or “no-shows” will still be charged as the horses will be there and ready. We know horseback riding is not for everyone, but unfortunately, if you have a last-minute choice not to ride, we will still require payment in full. We require a minimum of a 24-hour notice for cancellations in order to refund your payment less the deposit. You will still be charged for your ride even if you do not make it on the day of.

No! We have horses available for all skill levels to help everyone from the first-time timid rider to advanced lifelong equestrians!

From our mounting blocks to our wranglers guiding, ready to answer questions on the trail, we aim to accommodate each rider’s specific needs.

Under no circumstances at any point in a pregnancy will you be allowed to ride.

No, we do not authorize any doubles riding.

We monitor the local weather very closely and frequently, and will let you know by 8am the morning of your ride if it is too hot or stormy for your ride to occur.

We accept ALL major credit cards/ debit cards and cash.

We require a minimum of 24-hour notice for cancellations to qualify for a refund. However, please note that deposits are non-refundable, with no exceptions. Safety is our top priority. If your ride is canceled or cut short at the discretion of our staff, we will reschedule your ride to another day.
