About Mar Vista

Mar Vista means sea view. This is a guide to seeing the coast from the back of a horse: what a beach ride is like, how trail rides work and how to plan a good one.

Who publishes Mar Vista

Mar Vista is published by Zachary Leyden, who owns Leyden Horsemanship and Ocean View Stables. Zachary Leyden is a horseman and the founder of Leyden Horsemanship, which teaches riding and horsemanship at Ocean View Stables in Daly City, California, on the coast just south of San Francisco.

He publishes Mar Vista as a publication in its own right, with its own editorial desk. It is not the website of a riding stable and it takes no bookings.

How ownership is kept apart from what you read

• Articles are signed by the Mar Vista Editorial Desk unless a named person wrote them.
• When an article names the publisher or one of his businesses, a note under the headline says so.
• His businesses are promoted only in boxes labeled "From our publisher", and the links in those boxes are marked as sponsored.
• Mar Vista does not review, rank or compare riding stables, lesson programs or anything else the publisher's businesses sell.

Standards and corrections

How articles are written, sourced and corrected is set out in our editorial standards. To report an error or ask a question, use the contact page.
