5-star-rating Summerwood Stables is a beautiful, magical spot for horses and people alike. The full-board stable is able to handle and accommodate all levels of riders, different riding disciplines, young to senior horses, and a few retirees. The three barns have a variety of gazillion dollar competitive show horses, dressage horses, hunter jumpers, thoroughbred OTTB, some pleasure riding horses, several ponies for good measure, and a choice of onsite trainers. Boarders are able to bring their well-mannered doggies to the stable with them. The care is excellent with 3x a day feedings, lots of hay, great stalls, constant stall cleaning, day or night pasture turnout in large paddocks, etc. The stalls are nicely covered/roofed, so to protect from the sun, heat and rain, and the aisles are wide, many cross-tie areas for grooming and tacking up. Boarders are able to just sit with their horses, if so desired. Most stalls have misters. The multiple tack rooms are air-conditioned, there are bathrooms and W/Ds. There are camera, nighttime lighting throughout the premises for added security, and gates are closed in the evening. Riding trails are nearby. There are jump courses for boarders, an outdoor arena and an indoor arena, multiple wash bays. The owner Monica is very hands on with watching over all the horses, and knowing them by name, like they are her babies, and she personally administers the medications, and wound care and bandaging/wraps, if and when needed. She also oversees vet visits, when needed [both regular care and emergencies], dental care, vaccinations & Coggins, other special care and farrier visits. Of course, boarders are free to pursue these appointments on their own. Owner Monica is very accessible and responsive to the needs of her boarders, both in-person and by text. Throughout the day, she is highly visible around the stable on her different tractors, attending to arenas, doing turnouts, doing feedings, throwing hay, and even helping the staff muck stalls. She truly does it all! Her staff are kind to the horses, and loyal, with little turnover. Onsite laser and MagnaWave treatments are available, and Theraplate. Throughout the year, there are a variety of visiting horse chiropractors, massage therapists, visiting highbrow trainers for horse and rider, exhibitions, consultations, riding clinics, on-site shows, etc. Everything is very easy to book, with appointments being very interactive. There is a high level of camaraderie amongst boarders, get-togethers and meals and events, for those who wish to participate. They are always someone around to help. The owner lives on site, and the staff mainly live on site as well, which is excellent for security and emergencies. Great boarder parking and space for horse trailers and vans. This A1 choice stable is highly in demand in which so to get a coveted spot for your horse. read more

Absolutely the best Stable we ever bin to! Monica is the reason why my husband doesn't have to think about building a barn any longer! He is super grateful for that, I must say! Our horse never settled in to any place so quick and this is the first stable where I don't have to manage my mares feeding needs because there are very good options for all kinds of needs! The staff is great and they know what they doing, yet they will ask questions about the horses past so they know how to approach one the best way possible! Any given time if my horse have any health concern, Monica will call me or text me and make sure we have a plan in place to manage what ever the situation might be! I feel like for the first time I can go on a vacation and not have to worry about my mare because she have the best care possible! To boot all that, every other boarder was very welcoming and it really creates a family atmosphere, everyone is helpful to one another, regardless of their level of riding, from the pro riders to amateurs till trail riders! The maintenance of the stables and grounds are amazing! Grateful to be here at Summerwood! read more

It is the most wonderful riding experience I ever had. The site is a real paradise. Solo has a talent to explain how to integrate the Biomechanic approach with the two horses I had the chance to ride at Summerwood and start to transfer this new approach with my own horse. I will go back to this paradise next year for sure. Monica, Solo and people I had the opportunity to meet are so nice persons and I really had fun and enjoyed spending time with all of them. It has been a marvellous experience. Thanks to Solo and Monica for everything. Claudette Dupuis read more

I moved to Summerwood more than a year ago with my a young 6 year old horse that needed to get back under saddle. He is now thriving thanks to the great care and plentiful turnout he receives. He is so happy and loves it there! His routine is varied since this amazing facility has a jump ring, dressage ring, covered ring, cross crountry field and plentiful trail riding. In addition, there are jumping lessons, dressage lessons, this weekend there was a ride-a-test with a legit dressage judge, all on the property. The property is very well maintained. The great care, large grassy turnouts and feeding program have him happy in his body and mind. Happy horse, happy owner! read more

I can't say enough good things about Summerwood. Monica takes impeccable care of the property and the horses. The facilities are great for any rider - there's a dressage arena, cross country field, jump ring, and a covered for rainy days. Plus there's miles of trails right off the property. Monica has curated a judgement free and supportive culture among the boarders that I'm especially grateful for - I moved to this area of Florida recently not knowing anyone and Summerwood has lead me to a great group of friends. I've owned horses all my life and can honestly say it is the best barn I've had the privilege of boarding at. read more

Amazing stable! Best of the best. The loving care given to the horses by the owner & staff is never compromised. The barn is clean . The paddocks are mowed and dry. Individual, custom care is given to your horse. You decide when and how long you want your horse turned out. In my 35+ years of horse ownership and boarding stables there has never been a stable that even comes close. They have a wonderful trainers, trails and if your friends come to visit there is lodging, which is also first class. The only problem is you probably won't be able to board there as it's normally full. read more

I'm so grateful to have my horse here. The care is excellent, and I can tell my horse is truly happy and well looked after.

I've been here over 6 years and never worry about my horse when traveling .I know that he is taking care of properly because I have watched how Monica and her staff takes care of all the horse everyday. read more

Summerwood Stables is amazing. The care that my horse receives every day is top notch. From the covered arena to the dressage Arena to the jump Arena to the cross country field, I couldn't ask for more options to be able to ride my horse. Monica personally checks on every horse every day. She personally monitors their feed, condition of their stalls and the entire facility. I feel so lucky to be part of the Summerwood family. read more

Horrible place for your beloved horse. The stables are "managed" by some 20-something year old girl with a pompous attitude who only has a few years of experience around horses. Very unsafe, taking your horse out with 2 or 3 others at a time just leading them as if horses are predictable creatures! When I found out that this is the person that the OWNER trusts at her stable and with my horse, I ran fast and far. read more

Summerwood has been our home for several years and I cannot say enough about this facility. Everything is well maintained and we have all of the amenities needed to train for competition and then some. My horse's care and comfort are paramount to the owner and staff and I never have to worry. The culture is friendly and welcoming and we have a fantastic barn community. read more

A very unprofessional, caddy owner and, as RJA noted in their review, a young woman managing the facility who knows little about horses, but thinks she knows it all. The truly do not care about the horses and created drama between the boarders which made for a terrible environment. read more

I agree with Julie ; the two previous comments couldn't be be further from the truth. This facility has always exceeded all my expectations! I highly recommend!! read more
