Horseback Riding in Big Bear
Because the region was a both a mining and tourist hot spot in the 19th century, many excellent trails and bridle paths weave through the mountains. Visitors who come to Big Bear often come with their own horse and trailers. While you can't keep your horses at your rental property, you can board them at nearby stables.
Horse Rentals
There is only one facility renting horses, the Baldwin Lake stables and petting zoos, where kids can experience close encounters of the cute kind. Experienced guides will lead you over the historic Pacific Crest Trail for one hour, two hour, half day or sunset rides. They even suggest private guided tours for “special occasions.” Pop the question on a pony, perhaps? This will give you the thrill you're looking for when you think of horseback riding in real Western Style.
