Presidential Vacations & Retreats: President & Mrs. Reagan Riding Horses
President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan ride horses on the grounds of their retreat, Rancho Del Cielo. November, 1981. "Living in the White House," said Ronald Reagan, gave him "a bird-in-a-gilded-cage feeling." He flew away to his California ranch as often as he could.
