About Los Padres Outfitters
Nestled in the heart of Carpinteria, we consider this coastal paradise our home, and we take immense pride in being a part of the local community. Living here isn't just about the stunning landscapes and ocean views; it's a lifestyle that we embrace and love to share with our guests.
As a family that has been rooted in Carpinteria for generations, we've had the privilege of calling Los Padres Outfitters our own. Our commitment to providing an exceptional horseback riding experience is a testament to the passion we have for our community and the natural beauty that surrounds us.

The Quick Trip Package (A one-nighter, where you’ll meet us first thing in the morning for breakfast at the trailhead, and then enjoy a scenic ride into camp. A steak dinner is served with views of California’s iconic mountain ranges as your backdrop… You’ll sleep under the stars or in one of our tents that you can request, waking up to hot coffee and a pancake breakfast to enjoy before we ride out of the backcountry, giving you enough time to be back in town by early evening).
Our Horses and Mules
We are very pleased with our 25 plus head of quarter horses and 30 plus mules and know you will be too. Our animals get a ton of great exposure from backcountry pack trips to downtown parades and wild movie shoots. We work very hard with our dude horses to make sure they provide each rider with a fun and, most of all, safe ride! Our excellent wranglers do their best to match you with an animal that will not only suit your abilities but also your personality. Our experienced, well trained, beautiful horses and mules have wonderful dispositions. Come out and meet them for yourself!
