Our Trails
For groups larger than 4 participants please call our office M-F between 9am-3pm to make special arrangements.
LA Horse Rentals offers guided trail rides throughout Griffith Park. As our bridle trails are also shared with hikers and dog walkers, all rides are mostly at a walk, with some trotting permitted at your guide's discretion. Horses and riders will be matched accordingly, taking into account the rider's size and experience. Be sure to use the restrooms before mounting your steed, dismounting out on trail is not permitted.
​
Arrive 15 min prior to your scheduled ride. No refunds for missed rides.

Oak Canyon 1 Hour Ride
Our 1 hour trail ride takes riders out around the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, over the LA River, and into Griffith Park using the Oak Canyon trail. A great trail to start with, once in the canyon the tree canopy provides shade on hot days, often leading to deer and other wildlife sightings.

$50/person
Skyline Trail 1.5 Hour Ride
Our 1.5 hour trail ride uses the Skyline trail for extraordinary city views of the valley. Leaving the barn, riders will still get a glimpse of equestrian life as the path leads out to Griffith Park the same way as our 1 hour ride, but continues up above the tree covering revealing the picturesque Verdugo Mountains.
