Mission Statement
Ocean Riders of Marin is a boarding stable and educational equestrian operation that provides programs to underserved communities.
About This Cause
For seventeen years, members of Ocean Riders have worked to restore the land at our location at the Golden Gate Dairy to a sustainable condition consistent with its history as a part of the Redwood Creek Watershed. When the property was obtained by the National Park Service (NPS), Ocean Riders worked in collaboration with the NPS to make it possible to continue to operate an equestrian facility on what had long been ranching land, previously devoted to raising dairy cattle. Throughout those seventeen years, Ocean Riders members gave time and money, determination and tenacity to clean up the site using entirely green practices and create a viable horse boarding facility. That effort paid off when, in July 2015, we signed a ten year lease with the NPS to continue to operate a boarding stable at the Golden Gate Dairy. The lease allows us to fully realize our dream program of bringing young people to our horse home for many educational purposes. We have invited children aged six to fourteen to learn about the environment that we inhabit, including the Redwood Creek watershed; land stewardship through green horse keeping practices; protection of the wetlands surrounding Muir Beach; the animals that inhabit the lands around us (coyotes, deer, bobcats, rabbits, quail, newts, frogs, and barn owls to name a few) and how their lives intersect and form a circle of life.
