I grew up with horses and so am not new to the experience. I was shocked to see there was actually a place in Newport Beach where you could go horseback riding outside of an arena. It was a very enjoyable experience on a beautiful, well mannered horse. It is a guided trail ride but still allows you to see parts of Newport you wont' get to otherwise. I rode western and I'm not sure if beyond lessons you would have the choice of going English style or not. Christine, is extremely experienced and as a guide/teacher she is great. Was a great experience and since my husband bought me a gift certificate for 5 rides, I will definitely be back. Thanks, Christine!

Hi, My son and I recently took a trail ride with Aloha Ranch. The first thing I noticed was how well kept the horses and the facility were. It was obvious that the owner Christine took great care of her horses. She also took good care of us! Safety is very important to her and she made sure we rode horses that were appropriate for our skill level. Once we left the neighborhood, Christine took us around the Back Bay of Newport. The views were beautiful and she shared many interesting stories with us as we rode along. Not only was she good at spotting local birds and animals, she also knew a lot of history about the gorgeous homes we saw and the local area. I would highly recommend Aloha Ranch to anyone who would like to experience an enjoyable and relaxing trail ride!
