The ride starts with the creak of leather and the soft exhale of a horse as the trail slips from scrubby desert into open sand. Guides match each rider to a calm, well-trained mount and lead a slow climb across cactus-studded slopes, then drop down to a coastline where Pacific surf pushes foam against your horse’s hooves. Salt and sun cut through the air; the rhythm of the gait makes the world concise and immediate.
