In the storm we moved the horses to Clermont Equestrian. What a lovely place. This will be good!

Bay Area Ridge Riders have been open for one year! A big thanks to all my helpers, guest riders and horses who made this possible. Looking forward to another great year!

Best Trail Rides Ever!

Do you want to go riding, I mean really go riding?

• If you are an experienced horseback rider
• If you want to enjoy nature from horseback
• If you are tired of nose-to-tail trail rides
  

Then we invite you to come along on a vigorous trail ride on one of our willing and well-conditioned horses through the most scenic mountain and forest trails in California. We will ride over ridges, through redwoods and open meadow lands in San Francisco Bay Area parks and preserves.

As an experienced rider you will appreciate that our horses are energetic, responsive to a trained equestrian's aids and never ridden by beginners.

Guided trail rides are also available for horse owners who want to bring their own horse.



Your guide will share the history of the lands and details of local flora and fauna in addition to helpful trail riding instructions, if desired. We currently offer two-hour, four-hour and full-day rides in San Mateo County parks and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District preserves.

Our horseback rides are not suitable for beginner riders. If you are a beginner rider we'd be happy to refer you to a suitable trail riding business.

Bay Area Ridge Riders in the media:

"A small number of stables in the Bay Area have realized there is an opportunity to fill a need for horse lovers who do not own a horse.
On the peninsula, for instance, Bay Area Ridge Riders offers personal trail rides for advanced riders at many Bay Area parks. My sister Sue, a horse lover since a tiny lass, joined owner and trail guide Magda Bartilsson for a birthday gift trip and found it exhilarating beyond expectations. Trail rides range from 2 to 4 hours. No beginners."
