What riders say about Moss Beach stables

Coastside Trail Rides at Ember Ridge

Since I was a young girl, riding a horse was a dream of mine, and today, I got to finally live it, and I wouldn’t have done it with any other company. From the moment we entered, the owners were so welcoming.

I took my family on a trail ride with Kim and her assistant. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the assistants name but she was awesome! The trails had stunning ocean views and I was pleasantly surprised that this was not your typical trail ride. Their horses actually need to be ridden.

★★★★★ Bart, Aug 2024

Ember Ridge Equestrian Center

The TH of the Spine(Sully's) Trail. After intersection the horse stable farm, the long straight up with a few hills to overcome will eventually end on the top. Scarper Trail becomes the east and west connector to Montara Peak and South Peak, respectively.
