Double J Ranch

Nestled in the scenic coastal town of Montara, California, Double J Ranch is more than just a horseback riding facility—it's a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to the care, rehabilitation, and lifelong support of rescued horses. Located at 1208 Alamo Street, the ranch operates under the 501(c)(3) designation and is committed to fostering compassion, education, and healing through equine experiences.

The ranch is home to horses like Alibi, a spirited companion who, despite being unrideable, brings joy to visitors, and Smoky, a paint horse recovering from serious hoof and leg issues. These horses are supported through donations and community engagement, with programs designed to connect people of all ages to the world of horsemanship.

​

In a generous effort to expand access to equine experiences, Double J Ranch offers no charge riding lessons and facility use for birthday parties to employees whose companies participate in donation-matching programs. This initiative not only encourages charitable giving but also rewards employees with meaningful, hands-on experiences at the ranch.

Program Highlights:

• Riding Lessons: Available Friday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., these lessons cater to all skill levels—from beginners to advanced riders.

• Birthday Party Packages: Host unforgettable celebrations at the ranch, complete with horse interactions, farm tours, and more.

• Good Alibi Club: Free Friday sessions at 4 p.m. introduce children and families to horse care and riding basics in a welcoming environment.

• ​

To take advantage of our activities, employees are encouraged to email the ranch at backahorse@hotmail.com and mention their employer’s donation-matching program. The ranch will guide them through the booking process.

​

Whether you're looking to learn horseback riding, celebrate a special occasion, or simply connect with animals in a peaceful setting, Double J Ranch offers a heartfelt and enriching experience. By supporting the ranch—especially through donation-matching programs—you’re not only helping rescued horses but also investing in a community built on empathy and education.
