This barn is clean and friendly. The horses are looked out for by everyone because it's like a big family here. They are also turned out daily.

Centrally-located near trendy Las Olas Boulevard and the famous Intracoastal Waterway, Victoria Park has long been one of the city's most prestigious communities. Indeed, it attracted the attention of none other than Julia Tuttle, the American businesswoman credited as the "Mother of Miami." Partnering with railroad magnate Henry Flagler, she convinced him to extend his railway down to South Florida, thereby allowing the region to grow and develop. Fort Lauderdale was one of the many cities that benefited from the economically vital Florida East Coast Railway, which ran right through it, albeit with an auspicious curve to the west of what is now Victoria Park. This is no accident - at the turn of the 20th century, Julia Tuttle explicitly denied Flagler the right of way through what is now Victoria Park, having recognized it as one of the most beautiful and pristine areas in South Florida. Its elegant oak hammock, prime waterfront, and gorgeous climate had made it - as to this day - the crown jewel of the burgeoning new city.
