Horse Boarding Near San Francisco
Country space and full care for your horse, north of the city across the Golden Gate. A weekend-friendly barn with trainers on site.
Why Bay Area owners choose us
Built for owners who can’t be there every day
Boarding near San Francisco usually means small paddocks, high prices and long waitlists. Jaz Creek gives city and East Bay owners a real country setting with experienced staff caring for their horses every day.
Many Bay Area boarders ride on weekends. Make a day of it: ride in the morning, then have lunch in Petaluma or the Sonoma wine country.
