Huntington Beach-- is home to many sports activities. One of the unique
opportunities is an equestrian center where you can book an
hourly guided tour through hills and meadows of Central
Park, a 350+ acre park in Huntington Beach's heart of the
city.
Do you
fancy riding a horse on the Edwards Hill in
Huntington Beach on a sunny summer
afternoonn? If so, you can arrange horse
rental from the only local equestrian center
that offers guided tours through trails
within the City of Huntington Beach's
largest park, Central Park. The trails
offer low challenge riding in a pleasurable
atmosphere but require reservations. In the
winter and spring the hills are filled with wild mustard and
flowers. Summer turns everything a golden wheat color and
offers pleasant rides in the sun.
There used to be a
polo club at the Equestrian Center and a decade ago the city
celebrated incredibly lavish horse show fundraisers. Today
the events are much more geared toward horse owners and
riders, and aren't generally as interesting to the public as
the previous events that included printed programs,
corporate sponsorships, and unique derbies.
If you
just like to watch or for some reason love
that earthy smell of hay and a stable,
you'll find the real horse environment
equestrians who use the boarding services
enjoy. Competitions occur several times each
year at this venue, while must days you'll
see people taking their horses out for
rides, or training. Tours are offered for adults
and kids age 8 years and above. Information: (714) 848-6565
