Paddington Station Northern California English Horseback Riding Camp Dressage Eventing Lesson Adult Child Horse Boarding Training

Dressage and Eventing - where Redwoods meet the Wine Country

Paddington Station is a full service english boarding and training facility located in beautiful Mendocino County, California, only 100 miles north of San Francisco. We offer riding lessons in dressage and eventing, specialising with adult amateur riders and the young rider who wants to learn correctly and safely in an informal environment. Boarding and training are also offered. We are ideally suited for retirees, and have pasture boarding with shelters, corrals and box stalls. In the summer we offer riding camps for children and adults for weekend or week-long getaways in our natural setting. Working student positions are occasionally available. We have a horse for every skill level. Irrigated pastures, a dressage arena, covered arena, and a cross country course are among the facilities offered on our 75 acre ranch. Happy horses and riders are our priority.
