2016 California Trip: Horseback Riding in Santa Barbara


Horseback riding in California is extremely fun. The rides offer impressive views and the terrain is very interesting. We went horseback riding with Grandpa Lefler at the Circle Bar B Ranch near Santa Barbara. This was the boys' first time on a horse, and they did really well.

Nolan had a small horse named Peanut, and Peanut was a fantastic horse. Matt had Goldie, a horse that had a mind of her own. She was a little bit challenging on the ride, but Matt did very well!


A lot of the trail was charred from one of the many wildfires that races through this area of California on a regular basis. It was both sad and interesting to see what the fire had seared and what it had left untouched.


Our guide at the Circle Bar B Ranch was wonderful and we all had a fantastic time. I highly recommend horseback riding if you are in this region of California. The mountains and ocean create an amazing place to do a trail ride!
