Mill Creek Equestrian Center is located in the Santa Monica Mountains where it is surrounded by miles of riding trails. Our beautiful, well-maintained facility is located in Old Topanga Canyon on twenty-eight oak-shaded acres. Even though Mill Creek seems a world away from the city, it is a short drive from virtually all parts of Los Angeles County, particularly the Westside, San Fernando Valley and South Bay.

Mill Creek is a full service boarding and training facility. As you will soon discover from reading about our teaching staff on this web site, we offer some of the finest riding instruction available. Comprehensive horse training is also available from most of our instructors. Our riding program focuses primarily on Eventing and Dressage training and we hold classes for all levels of equestrians, from pleasure riders to advanced competitors, both children and adults. Group, semi-private and private lessons can be scheduled at your convenience and evening classes are available for adults during the week. Quality school horses are available for lessons for those who are not horse owners (sorry, we do not rent horses for trail rides).

TRAINING

Our excellent school program has made Mill Creek one of the leading Event barns in California over the past 30 years. Eventing or Combined Training, which includes dressage, show jumping and cross-country riding, has always been popular in Europe and has become increasingly popular in the United States. Mill Creek competitors travel to all major California Horse Trials and have won hundreds of individual and dozens of team championships. Our students have also become strong contenders on the local Dressage Show circuit. In addition, we normally host two Horse Shows a year on the grounds, exclusively for our own students. Riders of both private horses and school horses are welcome to compete.

Mill Creek supplements its training program by hosting clinics given by top professionals. Many horse-world dignitaries have visited visit Mill Creek in recent years. We are also fortunate enough to have Mette Rosencrantz, a well known and respected Dressage trainer, based at Mill Creek to provide support to our highest-level Dressage competitors.
