Why Santa Rosa owners choose us

A covered arena, real turnout and personal care

Jaz Creek is at 3392 Roblar Road, just west of Cotati and an easy run down Highway 101 from Santa Rosa. The facility was completely rebuilt in 2022, with a covered arena that keeps you riding through Santa Rosa’s wet winters and turnout most in-town stables can’t offer.

Hunter/jumper and dressage programs and Ijula Equestrian lessons are all on site, so there’s no hauling out for instruction.
