About Equesition

Plain guidance on leasing, buying, boarding and everyday care for first-time horse owners.

Owning a horse is a long commitment that starts with a few decisions. These guides walk through them one at a time: leasing, buying, boarding, care and gear.

Who publishes Equesition

Equesition 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 Equesition 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 Equesition 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.
  • Equesition 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.
