I've been riding in the foundation lesson program for the past 4 months and just recently graduated to private and group lessons. BAEC is a well-kept facility with a lot of talented equestrians and instructors. Their horses are very well taken care of and healthy. I've dabbled in horseback riding here and there for trail rides, but wanted to get more involved and start taking lessons at BAEC to eventually own my own horse.
Upon taking my first lesson as an adult beginner this summer, I was completely intimidated to take lessons at an Arabian show barn! However, the instructors and friendly equestrians have put me at ease and made me feel welcome. I look forward to every lesson and can't wait to continue honing my riding skills as I take them to the next step. I am riding western but they have plenty of options to choose from. For my lessons, I've been taking all of them with Leo as he has been incredibly helpful in setting up my foundation skills. I specifically request Leo for his expertise as he is very patient, kind, and meticulous in his instructions. He provides real feedback, explains the "why we do this", doesn't cut corners, and has increased my confidence as a rider. I always walk away from my lesson with the next steps on what to improve for the next one because he is so clear on what I need to work on. It is clear that Leo has a real passion for horseback riding and improving his student's skills to be better riders. He is easy to work with and I'm glad I've found him at this barn. I will continue to take lessons with Leo and hope to do so for many more years to come!

I took my children to a camp here. They were both newbies and had a WONDERFUL time! I plan to bring them back for more camps (with Kylie, SHE’S THE BEST)!!!

I recently took a foundation lesson here, where Kylie walked me through brushing, caring, and how to saddle a horse. I’m 21 and pretty scared and nervous around big animals (especially horses), but after Kylie showed me basic things and talked to me about how their personalities are I felt a lot better and more comfortable with them. I rode Copper in the arena where we walked and Kylie showed me how to properly have my legs, feet, and whole body in general. The details on positioning made all the difference especially once we worked up to a slow trot. I highly recommend doing lessons with Kylie, as I will also be doing lessons with her in the future. I had so much fun and feel much more confident in riding and being around horses.

Highly recommend. The staff at Bay Area take outstanding care of our horse above and beyond what is required. Our daughter has been working with the trainers for about 6 years and not only has she developed greatly in her riding, she has developed self-confidence by her trainers (Krista and Laurie) setting high, achievable goals with her and supporting her in reaching them through hard work and persistence. As a parent, the partnership we have with the Bay Area staff in helping develop our daughter into a strong, confident, and empathic young woman is invaluable. For the record, Helene (who oversees most if not all operations at the barn) is a saint. She always ensures transparency in every financial transaction. She has sat down with this tired working mom on many an evening and answered every financial or procedural question of mine with patience and forthcoming honesty. Such a gift! Overall, having a local riding school with staff who are professional and focused on developing riders both in and out of the arena and also treat our horse with respect, dignity, and care is a game changer for our family. #BAECLifer!

I have been riding at Bay Area Equestrian Center for over 25+ years. I have taken numerous lessons, that always emphasized fun, learning and safety. I have competed on the show team as well as boarded horses there. I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing care they take of the horses. The facility is top notch with its indoor arena. The lesson horses are great teachers. The instructors are very knowledgeable. Overall, it is a great place to learn how to ride.

Lynn, the owner, exhibits phenomenal approach to business and does a great job. Our daughter has been riding there for sometime and her instructors are able to push and develop our daughter very well.

Coming from a ranch I have enjoyed seeing our daighter become a solid horseman under their tutelage.

We took our two year old horse loving son for a barn tour today. The staff was super friendly. The only disappointment we had was the trouble he caused to leave (🤣) Thanks for all involved we look forward to visiting with Stella again!

My daughter has been riding at BAEC for 3 years. Her confidence, work ethic, and sense of worth has skyrocketed. She is learning more than just horsemanship. They take great care of our horse. BAEC is really THE place to go for riding lessons.
