What riders say about Winter Haven stables

Hope Equine Rescue

This is a very nice horse rescue. Very clean. Animals very well taken care of. We visited for the Halloween fundraiser. Very nice turnout. These volunteers have great big hearts. Very dedicated. Hard workers. The owner has such passion for all she does for these beautiful animals.

Crystal Beach Farm

My daughter had a wonderful time during the weeks of camp she attended! She had a blast painting horses, trail rides, grooming and the friends she met along the way. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed every activity in the water; bringing her so much joy! I highly recommend Cowgirl Camp at Crystal Beach.

★★★★★ Tvhost, Jul 2025

Polk County Horse Events

This is the BEST community for horse shows and clinics! Wonderful facility with a beautiful obstacle course. The arenas are spacious and well kept. You won’t find a better place in all of central Florida.
