Rose Bowl Riders is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to promote responsible horsemanship and a love for horses. We do this through horsemanship clinics, trail rides, horse shows, lessons and classes, barbeques and breakfasts, community-based activities and other events for both our members and the public.
Our full equestrian facility is situated on 12 oak-shaded acres within Pasadena’s Hahamongna Watershed Park. Rose Bowl Riders shares this special natural environment with an abundance of wildlife including quail, western bluebirds, egrets, Cooper’s and red-tailed hawks, gopher snakes, rabbits, bobcats, coyotes, deer and more.
