This is how we trail ride in Florida! What fun! Julia Sutherland & her daughter Mickaylaa are amazing!!! Mickaylaa was our trail guide and despite her having a terrible case of laryngitis she did awesome! We really liked how you do more than just ride a trail you are given the whole horse interaction experience. We were able to properly groom the horse with brushing them, and shown how to clean out the hooves make sure there aren't any rocks caught. We were able to be involved with watching them put the tack/ saddle and saddlebags on our horses. Need a bottle of water or keep your cell phone close? You got it right with you in the saddle bags. We then were able to get up on the horses and were given a corral & agility area to ride so we could get comfortable with our horses. Once we were comfortable then we hit the beautiful and awesome trail. This place has such sweet horses that are awesome with children as well as adults. Mickaylaa took many awesome pics on the trail. We will be back! read more

Had a great ride with Mickaylaa yesterday thru the Florida swamps, still pretty wet here as just coming out of their monsoon season. Her and her mom are such nice folks. I rode Daybreak who is a little stubborn, but after he found out I was boss we got along just fine. If your ever down this way and looking for a great adventure I would highly recommend these folks and I've ridden all over the country and by far this was one of my favorite rides. read more

Specialties

HWLM Youth Ranch is a family-focused program dedicated to providing children and youth with a safe, structured environment to learn horsemanship, life skills, and personal responsibility. Our programs include horseback riding lessons, horsemanship instruction, educational day camps, and youth development activities designed to build confidence, leadership, responsibility, and respect for both horses and others. Participants receive hands-on instruction in horse safety, grooming, tacking, horse care, groundwork, riding fundamentals, and proper horsemanship practices. Our camps and lessons emphasize education, character development, teamwork, and safety while offering a positive outdoor learning experience. Activities are supervised, age-appropriate, and focused on developing knowledge and skills rather than competition or entertainment.

History

Established in 2014.

I started working with horses in 1987 and began working youth in 2009 passing my knowledge to my 4-H club youth members and others in my community. I started a Mustang Youth Program in 2015 within the club to educate the youth on a deeper level of horsemanship.

Meet the Business Owner: Julia H.

I love to train horses and work with youth. Putting a program together has been amazing. Adding a mustang youth program has given kids with a passion for horses a better respect for them and the way they think and react. I love challenges and I love the changes both the horses and the kids make in my programs. Between one - on - one or group lessons, trail rides, boarding, pony parties, clinics, camps, and our mustang program, there’s something for everyone.

Aside from how absolutely disgusting the water must be, this is S-tier wholesome fun.

I cannot recommend HWLM Horsemanship highly enough. From my experience, the safety and well-being of both the children and the horses are always a top priority. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and focused on building confidence, responsibility, and strong horsemanship skills. Julia sutherland leads with honesty, integrity, and genuine care. She is knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what she does, and it shows in every interaction. I trust her completely and have full confidence in the way she teaches and cares for those who come through the program. If you're looking for a place where children can learn in a safe, encouraging environment while developing a true respect for horses, I wholeheartedly recommend HWLM. It's a place built on trust, dedication, and a love for both people and horses. read more

Great place for your kids to learn horsemanship and great place for your horses learn. The kids learn so much and enjoy the challenge of breaking and riding horses. It teaches them responsibility, quick, thinking, determination, teamwork, confidence, and how to work hard. I look forward to sending my horse down there for the kids to learn work on and building his confidence in the meantime ! read more

My kids have all gone through the mustang program and I have watched them grow before my eyes in discipline and self control. We board our horse out there and are involved in volunteer days and many other activities that are so rewarding and educational. The ranch is my kids' second home and they love it! read more
