Bay Area Equestrian Center

My 10 year old daughter has loved having monthly foundation classes here. Ms. Brielle and Ms.Catie are fantastic with her and the horses. Would highly recommend BAEC to anyone looking for horseback riding lessons!

Great place to go to if you want to learn how to ride. I started last year and I love this place. Everyone there is very friendly and the trainers are great and very knowledgeable. I’m very thankful they help me out and have shown me a whole different world I didn’t realize I was missing out on. I would highly recommend this place. My trainers have been Leo, Hannah, Kylie, and Mackenzie. They are all wonderful and friendly and have each taught me something different.

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!

This facility is fantastic and Kylie is a gem. I was in town for a few weeks and took private lessons with her to keep up with my riding. I learned so much! She’s friendly, attentive and engaged and has such a good eye- which helps her give great instructional cues. She will give you the right amount of challenge and help build your confidence and riding skills! The front office staff were professional and nice, and the indoor arena is huge. The online booking system is nice too. Really great place, highly recommend. I wish I could be here year round to take lessons here!
