Shoestring Farm is located at Portola Pastures, a boarding facility, in the hills of Portola Valley, California. While we are located at Portola Pastures, we are a seperate business from them - any inquiries about Shoestring Farm should be direct to us.
Lessons are given in one of two outdoor arenas on the premises, overlooking the hills of Palo Alto and Portola Valley. Cross country lessons can be given at The Horse Park at Woodside (CTETA), just a short trailer ride away from the barn.
