Want to go Horseback Riding in SoCal?

If you answered "Heck Yeah!" Then you need to go and visit Saddle Up Wine Tours, located in Aguanga, California. This ranch offers a sanctuary for the horses that live there and is owned by a woman named, TJ, who puts all of the profits made from horseback riding back into the ranch for their rescue operations. She buys horses that are neglected, abandoned, abused, or close to being euthanized; all to make sure that they get a second chance at life. Everyone who works there are volunteers, which also means that you can volunteer too!

You can read their mission on their website at: https://saddleupranch.org/

A couple different rides are available to you and your friends and are suited for any level of rider. So, if you've never ridden a horse before, that's okay! TJ is very patient and is able to walk, and talk, you through the steps of riding a horse! You can go on trail rides and wine tasting tour rides; the prices will vary on which you'd like to participate in:
