There are so many fun activities for English students in SF that sometimes, we have a difficult time choosing which activities to highlight on the CISL Blog. Alcatraz, Sausalito, Golden Gate Park, museums, festivals, cool shows in awesome theaters, canoeing, hiking . . . there is always something interesting happening in the City by the Bay! CISL San Francisco students can now add another fun activity to their “Must Do” list: horseback riding.
Even though San Francisco offers many outdoor activities and has many beautiful parks, few students know that San Francisco offers horseback riding. Horses simply are not associated with the densely-populated city and its urban activities! However, there are stables in San Francisco that offer horseback riding, and several stables take their groups onto the beach. It is a beautiful experience, and a great opportunity to take some incredible photos!
