Glenn and his horse Pablo, 2008 San Mateo County Mounted Patrol Horseman of the Year.
Nestled on 30 peaceful acres at the base of Woodside’s Western Hills and the edge of a Nature Preserve, Portola Farms is one of Northern California’s most beautiful and well equipped horse boarding facilities. Easily accessed from Interstate 280 and a 30 minute drive from San Francisco or San Jose, Portola Farms serves equestrians of all disciplines. The facility is a few minutes drive from The Horse Park at Woodside and adjacent to an extensive local equestrian trail system, including Huddart and Wunderlich Parks.
Glenn and Nancy Atkinson have owned and operated the facility since 1987. Glenn is a lifelong equestrian and in 2008 was honored as the San Mateo County Mounted Patrol Horseman of the Year.
Although training is optional at Portola Farms, six professional hunter/jumper trainers offer the following: full training, lessons, grooming, turnout services, school horses, summer camps. In addition the facility hosts several weekend clinics a year with world class trainers such as Nelson Pessoa, Richard Spooner, Greg Best, and Bernie Traurig.
