Services & Process

Horse boarding is the core offering here, which typically includes daily feeding, stall or pasture turnout, and basic health monitoring.

Stall cleaning, fresh water, and access to a riding area are standard expectations. Some facilities also coordinate farrier and vet visits, so it's worth asking what's included when you contact them at (813) 545-6168.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does full-care horse boarding include at a Tampa stable?
Full-care boarding typically covers twice-daily feeding with hay and grain, fresh water, stall cleaning, and daily turnout into a pasture or paddock. Staff also monitor your horse for signs of injury or illness and will contact you or your vet if something looks off.
Do I need a negative Coggins test to board my horse in Florida?
Yes, a current negative Coggins test is required by Florida state law for horses that are transported or kept at a boarding facility. Most stables also require proof of core vaccinations like Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, tetanus, and rabies before move-in.
How much does horse boarding typically cost in the Tampa area?
Boarding rates in the Tampa Bay area vary depending on care level and facility amenities, but full-care stall boarding generally runs between $400 and $800 per month. Pasture board options tend to be more affordable, often ranging from $200 to $400 monthly.
Can I visit my horse whenever I want at a boarding facility?
Most boarding stables in Florida allow owner visits during daylight hours, though some have specific check-in hours for security and safety reasons. It's always a good idea to clarify visiting policies before you sign a boarding contract.
What should I look for when touring a horse boarding facility?
Pay attention to cleanliness of stalls, the quality and freshness of hay and feed, and the condition of fencing and water sources. Healthy, relaxed horses on the property are usually a good sign that the facility provides consistent, quality care.
How do I transfer my horse's care to a new boarding stable?
You'll need to provide health records and give proper notice to your current stable, usually 30 days per a standard contract. Arrange a move-in date with the new facility, coordinate a trailer for transport, and plan for a brief adjustment period as your horse settles in.
