Horsing Around in Palos Verdes
If you live in Palos Verdes, you are no stranger to horses on the drive and trails. Crosswalks with 15 hands high buttons make us smile each time we see them. Many residents own their own foal or filly but for those novices or those hosting out of town family, there are many trail ride and lesson options.
