    The Los Angeles Equestrian Center at Griffith Park proved to be a perfect venue for our church’s Easter service and community egg hunt. The sprawling grounds, nestled in the scenic surroundings of Griffith Park, provided a picturesque and spacious setting that perfectly accommodated our gathering of over 300 attendees.

    Amazing trails for beginners with unforgettable views as well as advanced private rider options with Ashley or Adam! This ranch was truly the highlight of my trip!! Beautifully cared for horses & I miss it so much already. I visited 3 times on my 1 week trip! I was able to ride Pico, Rain & Finn.

    It was a great experience. We arrived very early so as to not miss the ride. Our guide, Nelly, was fabulous. She let us meet the horses, provided helmets, and gave us a quick run down before the other riders arrived. The instructions provided before hitting the trail were very easy to understand.

    My family and I booked a ride for my son’s 17th birthday, and we had an excellent experience. The horses were well-trained and dependable, and our guide was outstanding. Madison was personable, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the ride.

    We saw a bear during the ride. Highly recommend the ride! Very professional. My mom had no riding experience and doesn’t understand English. The staff are very caring and patient. They made sure my mom follow all the instructions, and are setup comfortably.

    Great place for families to visit and enjoy the fall time festivities. They have a large petty zoo. The children can ride ponies. You can also buy crafts and also grab a snack. This is a priceless venue for children to have lots of fun. There is no charge to park. There is a small charge for the crafts and rides.

    Incredible horseback riding experience with Chris and Marissa. We did the sunset horseback ride which was fun and an amazing way to end the day. All of the horses are so gentle, well mannered, and a very safe experience. They rescue these mustangs from the wild and find new homes for them.

    ★★★★★ Kassidy, Feb 2025

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
