What riders say about Novato stables
What a fun night team penning. I watched mainly. Great people beautiful horses and awesome tritip.
Morning Star has a great lesson program. The horses are well taken care of, the students love the horses, and the horses love the students!
An amazing place to ride; Cyd and Lisa run a very professional riding program. If you want to learn to ride or compete at the higher levels Longview Stables is the place to go. The Property is lovely and backs right onto an open space preserve with great hikes and trail rides.
