Desert Trails

We are a small, local stable offering intimate, guided horseback rides into the hills above Ensenada, Baja, California, Mexico. We help support the local community.   A quick 15 minutes South of Ensenada. We take groups of all sizes out, (children 6 and under can ride with an adult, or smaller older children) up into the hills for 1-4 hour horseback rides.

Beach rides are also available with notice.

Individual attention and safety are our goals as a  family-run horseback riding stable, we are more flexible than bigger riding stables, and able to cater each ride to your needs.

Our rides start in a neighborhood of quaint, Mexican villas  and follow trails leading up into the hills. You will experience the solitude of nature, surrounded by a bountiful collection of wild succulents, cactus, sage, jojoba, and other native species.

You may see a road runner, bobcat, rabbit or other animal that lives in  the coastal desert of Baja California. Don’t forget a breathtaking view of the pacific, the city of Ensenada, and its island in the bay!

We are open year around for the following:
