About Alstad Arabian Farms

Alstad Arabian Farms brings a breed-specific focus to Miami's equestrian scene, a city where finding a farm dedicated to Arabians is genuinely uncommon. You can reach them directly at (305) 279-8546. Arabian horses have distinct care needs and a devoted following, and a farm built around the breed signals real expertise rather than a general-purpose operation. Miami-Dade's equestrian corridor, concentrated largely around the Redland and Homestead areas, has a handful of serious farms, and one specializing in Arabians stands out. If you own or are considering an Arabian, boarding with people who know the breed's quirks and temperament is a meaningful advantage.

Horse Boarding

Services & Process

Horse boarding at a farm like this typically means your horse is cared for by people who understand Arabian-specific nutrition, exercise needs, and the breed's characteristic sensitivity. Daily care includes feeding, stall or pasture management, and turnout, but the hands-on attention tends to be higher at a breed-focused farm. They may also offer services tied to Arabian showing, such as conditioning programs or show preparation. Owners interested in breeding Arabians may find additional services here that a general boarding facility simply wouldn't provide.

Service Area

Alstad Arabian Farms is based in Miami and primarily serves horse owners throughout Miami-Dade County. Clients from the Redland agricultural district, Homestead, and parts of Broward County have access to this facility. South Florida's equestrian community is spread across a wide geographic area, but the farm's Miami location makes it reachable from most of the region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to own an Arabian horse to board at Alstad Arabian Farms?
Many breed-specific farms do prioritize their specialty breed, but some accept other horses depending on space and fit. It's worth calling (305) 279-8546 directly to ask about their current policy and whether they accommodate other breeds on a case-by-case basis.
What vaccinations does my horse need before boarding in Florida?
Florida requires a current negative Coggins test for horses moving between properties, and most facilities also require core vaccines including Eastern and Western encephalitis, West Nile, tetanus, and rabies. Given Florida's mosquito exposure, many vets here also recommend rhinopneumonitis and influenza vaccines.
How are Arabian horses different to care for compared to other breeds?
Arabians tend to be more sensitive to feed changes, environmental stress, and management inconsistencies than many other breeds. They're also prone to specific genetic conditions like SCID in foals, so a knowledgeable farm understands what to watch for and how to manage the breed's unique needs.
Can I bring my horse's existing farrier and vet to a new boarding facility?
Most boarding farms allow and even encourage owners to use their preferred farrier and vet, as long as those professionals are properly licensed and follow the facility's health protocols. Just notify the farm in advance when you're scheduling a visit so they can coordinate access.
What should I look for when touring a horse boarding facility in Miami?
Pay attention to water quality and availability, stall size and cleanliness, the condition of the horses already there, and how staff interact with the animals. In South Florida specifically, check for adequate shade, fly control systems, and how the farm handles severe weather events like tropical storms.
Is pasture boarding a good option in South Florida's climate?
Pasture boarding can work well in Florida's mild winters, but summer heat and humidity require careful management including shade access, water stations, and monitoring for heat stress. The quality and safety of fencing is also critical, especially in areas near residential development.
