Julian horseback riding; a delightful trail ride experience.

What You Will See ...

Trail riding on the Kenner Ranch takes you up to mountain vistas, through peaceful meadows, oak woodlands, and past secluded ponds brimming with small mouth bass.

The Kenner Ranch retains the charm of its ranching history. Your trail ride will last from 1 to 1.5 hours, and will cover almost 200 acres of beautiful mountain backcountry.

The Horses

The horses are the Kenner's horses, used on the ranch for the purposes of ranch operations. We are certain you will like them. Each horse has a unique personality and history. We feel confident that you will enjoy our horses as much as we do. They have been raised with love and reciprocate with sweet gentle natures.

Nature

The Cuyamaca mountains are filled with wildlife. On the Kenner Ranch, sightings of deer, bobcats, turkeys, and mountain blue jays are common. Over 30 different species of birds have been observed in a single day here.
Alpine flowers share the meadows with native grasses, a perfect setting for the wild turkeys to wander and peck. Hawks, owls, and other birds of prey rise from surrounding trees to circle the open areas in search of unwary ground squirrels. An occasional lone bobcat emerges from stands of hardy manzanita that hug the hills to wander the meadows before disappearing once again into the undergrowth . Woodlands of oak, pine, and cedar create shaded glens for the deer to quietly roam through, while the noisy mountain blue jays dart from branch to ground and back again.
Cattails and willow trees line the ponds, a nesting sanctuary for birds escaping from harsh northern winters, as well as many varieties that remain here year-round.
We feel very fortunate to share our hills and meadows with our animal neighbors. We cannot guarantee sightings, but we are happy to alter portions of our trail ride enjoy the wildlife when it appears.

Pricing & Availability

Horseback rides are $50 / person. We ask that you call for a reservation because the horses are busy in training or working.

BACK

	Hi Kathleen- We had a great time on our ride. We wanted to thank you & Jennifer for being so wonderful. Colette said that was the best part of our trip (we even stopped at the Wild Animal Park on the way back). Thanks again, Pat, Katia, Colette & Anya
	Greetings Kathleen, We wanted to thank you for such a wonderful day and ride... (we) loved the ride and really enjoyed you and your family. Pat has always been kind of tentative on a horse and she has not stopped talking about Spot. "I loved riding Spot." I, too, loved Raven. She's a doll. Anytime we want to ride we'll be calling. The concept of your Ranch is fantastic...It's an amazing place with amazing people... Take great care, Kindly, Stephanie (Pat, Don, and Diane)
	...I loved the feeling of being on our own trail ride, as opposed to a big long line,...and feeling like we were on a "real" farm. Your attitude and graciousness was very much appreciated...I will come back with the rest of my family. Beth (Christine 11, and Sean 10)
	"We camped in the Anza Borrego desert during the wildflower season but wanted to include something more memorable for our kids and stumbled across the Integrity stables at Kenner Ranch - a true family operation. This is one of the few places where younger kids can ride on trails and the experience exceeded our expectations. It is also the only place in the area that could easily handle a family of 6. The Kenner family, Kathleen and Brian, takes a hands on role in making sure every thing works perfectly. While we were getting each horse ready to ride, the weather started coming in and they helped us get warmer. When the weather got bad they cut the ride short but were flexible and set a time the next day to pick up where we let off. Despite the wildfires, The ranch is in good shape and the trail goes around the perimeter of the property, into the mountains then down through the valleys and meadows. We visited in March of 2005 so the ranch had received a lot of rain and the green was everywhere. In the higher parts, the trees were burned out. The only upside to the destruction was better views of the surrounding valley. Kathleen was aided by her partner Penny and husband brian, three intelligent people who have a lot to share about horses, Julian, and the historical farm they manage. They were great!"
