What riders say about Petaluma stables

Sonoma Horse Park

My daughter practices equine therapy on the property through a fantastic program called Giant Steps

★★★★★ Michelle, Jul 2019

Strides Riding Academy

I started my horse riding journey about six months ago with no experience. Through the capable hands of the trainers at Strides Riding Academy, I can now say that I ride well! They've taught me absolutely everything there is to know about how to ride properly, tack, and caring for a horse.

★★★★★ Carol, Dec 2020

golden gate equestrian

Love Golden Gate Equestrian! My daughter and I have been riding with Heather and Andres for the past three years and I simply can not recommend them highly enough. They carefully helped us buy our first horse who is a beloved part of our family.
