No trip to Palos Verdes is complete without a mention of horseback riding.  One of the few communities that is still zoned for horses, the hill definitely supports the horseback tradition. For the city of Rolling Hills Estates, that support comes in the form of a 35-acre park called Ernie Howlett Park.

 

From the Rolling Hills Estates city website:

 

"This 35 acre park provides facilities to many sporting and leisure activities, including: four one-wall handball courts, multi-purpose athletic fields, a regulation basketball court, a sand volleyball court, picnic tables, barbecue pits, and a variety of playground equipment. The park also boasts a 3/4-mile running track and a bicycle path."

 

In addition, there is a Tennis Club and an Equestrian Center with three riding rings, a dressage area and grandstand, and multi-use trail. They have lots of horse shows and there is also the possibility of renting out the facility.

So, saddle up your horse, drag your bike alongside, bring a cooler and play some basketball!!

I haven't been on a horse since I was 10. My sister's horse was kind enough to kick me. I guest better me than my horse. I don't know how the horse would have reacted. I thinking it would not have been good.
