Horse Boarding Near Marin County
More room, a covered arena and year-round turnout, an easy drive north from Novato and San Rafael on Highway 101.
Why Marin owners choose us
Space, shelter and steady care
Marin has beautiful riding, but stalls and turnout are scarce and some barns run waitlists. Jaz Creek is in southern Sonoma County, and many Marin owners board here for the room, the covered arena and care they can count on when work keeps them away.
Some of our Marin boarders ride several evenings a week; others come up on weekends and leave the daily care to us.
