About The Bay Horses

Before the bridges and the freeways, the Bay Area ran on horses and the farms that fed them. Each article here tells one piece of that history and lists its sources.

Who publishes The Bay Horses

The Bay Horses 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 The Bay Horses 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 The Bay Horses 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.
• The Bay Horses does not review, rank or compare riding stables, lesson programs or anything else the publisher's businesses sell.
