Bear Creek Stables is a boarding and training facility for over 70 horses that has been in operation since the 1930s. Following the Midpen’s acquisition of the site in 1999, the Stables have continued existing operations and public programs within Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve.
On May 14, 2024, the board of directors were presented a staff update on the Bear Creek Stables Capital Maintenance and Repair Project, County permit status, escalating project costs and unanticipated long-term operational costs along with alternative options for continued operation or Stable closure.
The board formed an Ad Hoc Committee to consider additional options and engage the community for input on the following:
- Stables or operations management
- Architectural and engineering experience
- Therapy programs
- Fundraising including grants
The board further directed the Committee to work with elected officials to support the stables.
The Committee was directed to evaluate options and return to the Board with a recommendation in approximately four months.
