California has some of the most beautiful scenery and varied terrain in the world. There are sandy beaches along the Pacific Coast, rushing rivers, forests of mighty redwoods and sequoias and the high peaks of the Sierras. While it is home to some of the world’s great cities, there are still vast, wide open spaces for riding and California is horse country! Equitours offers three riding vacations in Northern California. The Redwood Coast Ride will take you on long beach canters and into the magnificent redwood forests on fit horses , including some gaited, suitable for all levels of riders. The Riding and Training Clinic, run by one of America’s best riding instructors, provides an excellent opportunity to improve your riding skills in an attractive setting.
