Located off Skyline Boulevard in the Oakland Hills, we offer horse boarding, training, lessons, and a variety of horsemanship and riding programs for Oakland youth, veterans and therapeutic riding.
City Stables, managed by Diamond Equine Services, is a 7.2 acre site, located on Skyline Boulevard in the Oakland hills. City Stables represents a unique asset for the City of Oakland, offering specialized activities for inner-city youth through programs including horseback riding, sustainable agriculture, and related fields.
We are in the process of renewing and updating Oakland City Stables as a sustainable equestrian facility and providing a wonderful place for our community to enjoy for years to come.
A key feature of the property is the historic hacienda. The hacienda was built in 1925 and was used as the residence of the owners up until the 1970’s. The property has been used as a horse staging area dating back to the Peralta family in the 1700’s.
City Stables is managed by Diamond Equine Services, the concessionaire under contract with the City of Oakland. Melanie Diamond oversees the property and manages and develops the equestrian and community outreach programs.
