LA Horse Rentals

Based out of Griffith Park's Glendale side, this outfit leads rides across more than 50 miles of chaparral trail, with sightlines that stretch from Amir's Garden and the LA Zoo to the Hollywood sign and, on a clear day, the ocean. Trained guides walk every trail ride from start to finish, and trips run from 30 minutes up to three hours depending on how much saddle time a rider wants. The same operator runs a second, ranch-style location in the Santa Clara Valley near Fillmore, with rides through wildflower fields and past a working cattle herd.
