Discovering California's Picturesque Mendocino Coast on Horseback

SAN FRANCISCO, California–AdventureWomen, the oldest worldwide adventure travel company for active women over 30, heads to California's breathtaking Mendocino Coast for a custom horseback riding holiday from September 10 to 16, 2007.

Rated as one of the "Top 25 Adventure Vacations of a Lifetime" by a number of prominent magazines and newspapers, this scenic adventure takes women along the tranquil Mendocino Coast and through dense Redwood forests while riding well-trained Arabians, Appaloosas, Quarter horses, Russian Orlovs, and Akhal Teke crosses, many of them winners of challenging 50- and 100-mile endurances races. Led by award-winning horsewoman Lari Shea, guests canter in the surf along Ten Mile Beach; ride along ocean side bluffs; cruise up the conifer-covered coastal mountain range; take in stunning views of the Pacific Ocean; pass through a working cattle ranch; and hydrate by filling their canteens at a mineral spring.
At night, guests stay in charming, luxurious, ocean front accommodations. They dine on excellent meals, sip delicious California wines, and ease muscles by relaxing in a hot tub–the perfect way to end an exhilarating day outdoors.
 
AdventureWomen's custom California horseback riding vacation is designed to accommodate all horseback riding skill levels, for both English and Western enthusiasts. Each day, guests are divided into groups by skill level, and guides offer shorter and longer versions of the same ride.
