Anthony Chabot Equestrian Center

Moved over from Skyline Ranch and could not be happier. The management is excellent, hay is phenomenal and the boarders are lovely. Staying on the interest list it so worth it. Beautiful location and a gem of the East Bay Regional Park System.

I have been fortunate to have been a boarder here for almost 8 years. The new concessionaire is cleaning up the place and it is looking great. Both horses and humans are cared for very well by the new management. I think the negative reviewer was confused about what services the facility provides. This is a horse boarding facility that is located on EBRP land. There are 2 other boarding barns also on park lands and none of them have rental strings or pony rides. As a member of the «private club of unpleasant middle class white women from Piedmont» — well I am a middle class white woman but not from Piedmont– I have always been friendly and courteous to visitors. I try to «pay it forward» since I remember being horse crazy, too. I try to let visitors interact with the horses that we are fortunate enough to own or lease but we should all remember that a horse is an 1100+ pound prey animal that can move very fast around an unaware person. Kids and their adult escorts often don’t understand this but fractions of a second can be all it takes to prevent an injury. One of my fellow boarders IS a certified instructor but all of the instructors at our facility are competent and careful. Their contact numbers are listed on a white board in the long barn area near trailer parking. This is a wonderful place to board, and is made even better since it allows direct access to some of the best trails in the East Bay.

This is the best barn I have ever boarded at in all my 32 years of being a horse owner. I can see why I was on the waiting list for 5 years. Once you get in you stay forever! There is a new manager there now and the place is really getting cleaned up. The arenas have new footing and are dragged daily, the horses are fed 3 x a day, and they give you very generous helpings of shavings. For a barn that is open to the public the people who come visit the horses are very respectful. The boards are all nice and place has a great vibe. The scenery of being located at a trailhead in the Anthony Chabot Park is breathtaking. My horse and I are happy happy happy.
