Founded by two lifelong horse lovers who wanted to bring a softer, more welcoming touch to LA's equestrian scene, Lil Barn offers day camps focused on horseback riding lessons, horsemanship skills, and building a genuine connection with horses. The environment emphasizes joy, trust, and empowerment in and out of the saddle, making it ideal for beginners and returning riders alike. Kids come away not just with riding skills but with real confidence from bonding with these animals.

A historic oceanfront riding school in Malibu, established in 1941, offering camps that combine horseback riding and horsemanship lessons with mounted games, arts and crafts, and time in the petting zoo with bunnies, guinea pigs, and chickens. The family-run ranch has experienced trainers who work with riders of all skill levels in a stunning coastal setting. A magical option for animal-loving kids who want the full ranch experience with ocean views.
