Friends of Coast Road Stables: A Community Effort to Save Our Home

Welcome to the official page for The Friends of Coast Road Stables, a community-led initiative dedicated to the preservation of Coast Road Stables. Our goal is to raise awareness, rally support, and to protect this historic and cherished community from forced closure.  

Coast Road Stables is under threat, and we need your help to save it! The Coast Road Stables property is included as part of a new UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) and The Conservation Fund (TCF) land acquisition that will expand UCSC's programs and force the closure of the stable. 

This sale will increase the land holdings of UCSC by over 400 acres. Coast Road Stables sits on a small portion of those acres, and the sale will displace the existing tenants, boarders, businesses and dozens of horses, ending over 50 years of equestrian community and stewardship.

We do NOT oppose the this acquisition or the partnership between UCSC and TCF - as a group we seek to advocate for those directly affected by this sale and work WITH UCSC and TCF towards a mutually beneficial resolution.

We believe that by working together, we can secure the future of Coast Road Stables and protect the home we've all come to love. Whether you can donate time, volunteer, or simply spread the word, your involvement matters. Join us and become a friend of Coast Road Stables today.
