I'm starting this group to find other people with horses that want to enjoy mellow trail rides with fun conversation. We have so many parks to enjoy just minutes from anywhere in Ventura County! You should join if your horse is reasonably mannerly and you can trailer him/her. Any breed, any style of saddle.  (Note:  I'm sorry to disappoint some who have asked if we have any horses to rent or loan, this is a group for horse owners only at this time.)
