Welcome to Spring Down Equestrian Center where life is beautiful but horses make it even better.
We’ve been at the same location for 29 years and serving the Bay Area with exceptional riding lessons and programs. We have over 50 very special, show quality, kind, and safe horses for every level rider – from first time to advanced – who can teach you everything you want to know about riding. Safety is our first priority and fun is our second.
In addition to our incredible horses, we have two lighted arenas. One is covered and the other is our new outdoor arena with unbelievable waterproof, dust-free footing that feels like riding on the beach at low tide all the time, rain or shine, night or day. Boarding available with boxed stalls or paddocks.
We have a full time staff of professional instructors who teach 7 days a week and specialize in English Hunt seat, Dressage, and Western riding. We have many special programs, including Spring, Summer and Holiday camps for all ages, riding clubs, Mommy and Me classes (for Dads too), drill teams where you can ride your horse (or ours) and dance to the music. We have 4 horse shows per year open to the community (again, use your horse or ours), Girl Scout Merit Badges, group celebrations, clinics, and much, much more. Introductory riding packages available for first time customers!
In addition to our riding programs, our other passion is to improve awareness and knowledge about the care necessary to maintain horses, both physically and mentally, and to educate the community about what is involved to keep a horse healthy and happy. We sincerely want to share our knowledge in regard to all related issues involving equines, and to give any person who is interested the opportunity to become involved with horses. Our mission: to facilitate all who are interested to see the world through a horses eyes and to promote the human/horse connection.
We warmly welcome you to visit any time. We are conveniently located in beautiful Portola Valley midway between San Francisco and San Jose, just off Hwy. 280. |
