What riders say about Mt Dora stables

Violette Hill Hay Farm

This is a great place for a up close and personal capybara experience. They also have bunnies, goats, chickens, pigs, a pony a donkey, and cows (including a Scottish Highlander) that you can pet and feed. They also offer farm school training and animal volunteer service for community service hours.

Lil' Bit of Life LLC

Lil' Bit of Life is an amazing local farm and non-profit rescue. They have miniature horses and other farm animals and host a variety of programs and events. Reservations are required for farm tours and they are extremely popular so book early as clubs, summer camps, and special public events sell out quickly.

Well Balanced Horsemanship

I am so happy to have found Flying L Stable. I have always loved animals , and especially horses ,although I wasn’t lucky enough to get to be around horses growing up. Recently, I decided that it was never too late to work with horses and started volunteering 6 months ago at a therapeutic horse facility.
