In the San Marin area of northern Novato, Morning Star Farm offers a variety of equestrian services including riding instruction for all ages, horse boarding, horse training, summer day camps and birthday parties. Instruction is given at the facility at the junction of Novato Boulevard and Sutro Avenue, and rides sometimes go onto the trails of adjacent O'Hair Park. Classes in vaulting -- gymnastics on horseback -- are popular with kids and teens. Morning Star, just across Novato Boulevard from San Marin High School, is located on city-owned property and eased by the farm operators.
