Looking for horse boarding in the East Bay
Feb 2008
I am looking for horse boarding in the east bay. What's the best, least expensive option? What happened to the oakland city stables? Thanks Jessica
Pastures are less expensive than stables. In Oakland the least expensive stable my husband knows of is Piedmont Stables on Redwood Road. City Stables is slated to reopen in the summer '08, but it will be a competitive stable, which means a stall may cost as much as $400.00 to close to $500.00 for stall with paddock, per month. Hayward and South Contra Costa, around Byron & Brentwood cost less. wife of horse afficionado
My daughter rides at M Stable in El Sobrante: 2400 Valley View Rd,El Sobrante, CA 94803,(510) 223-6201. It's a struggling rescue facilitiy and I think you can board for as little as about $275/month. Call the number above and ask for Lou. They are working hard to improve the place. Only takes about 25 minutes to get there from Berkeley. Pat
Our teenager has ridden at three stables in the past few years: Redwood, in Oakland (which is right across from Kenilworth); Caldecott in Briones, and Kismet Farms, which is also out there. Her best experience has definitely been Kismet - experienced staff, options for horses.
