Our Story

Built for riders who mean it.

Golden Gate Equestrian Center was founded in 2016 by Jeff Tow-Arnett and Lauren Wood with a single vision: to build Minnesota's most complete Hunter/Jumper training environment — where competitive riders and first-time riders alike could reach their full potential.

Nestled at 4125 Country Trail W in Jordan, MN, our facility serves the southwest Twin Cities with year-round programming, one of the state's largest heated indoor arenas, and a coaching staff that brings competition experience to every lesson.
