The best horseback riding Santa Barbara has to offer

Adventure awaits in your own backyard

Circle Bar B Riding Stable is the oldest and finest public horseback riding stable on Santa Barbara County’s South Coast. For over 70 years, guests have been enjoying the coastal mountain paradise of our California dude ranch, located on more than 1,000 private, pristine acres in Gaviota.

The ride was wonderful, rising up into the Santa Ynez Mountains to a viewing spot where we could see the Pacific Ocean. The ride wound through forests, over streams…these folks were the kindest group of people I’ve met in a long time.
