Does your horse spook often? Do you spend more time worrying about what
might go wrong than enjoying the ride? The instructors at Suncoast Equine
use proven techniques to desensitize your horse to stimuli that would otherwise
concern it. We build confidence in both the horse and its rider.

You can ride with us at any age, however, a person under the age
of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must
sign a release of liability waiver for the person under 18.
No problem, you can bring a friend's horse or lease one of ours.
What days and times can I ride?
Our facility is open for riding normally between 9am and 9pm
seven days a week. If you want to ride with us on a trail
ride, we are normally available seven days a week and will
accommodate your time schedule. Although reservations are not
required, it is recommended to ensure our availability.
If I am a boarder, can my horse be fed its own
food?
The boarding price includes Suncoast Equine purchasing feed. All
horses are normally fed Tifton 44 hay and Horseman's Edge 12 percent
pelleted feed twice daily. The amounts of each are at your
direction. Boarders can request special feeding instructions,
including the addition of supplements. Requested supplements are
normally purchased separately by the boarding client and made
available to our staff for feeding. If you would like your horse fed
something other than what is normally fed, let us know and we will
try our best to accommodate your request.
Do I need a coggins or health
certificate?
A current negative coggins certificate must accompany any horse
brought onto the property, regardless if your a boarding with us or
simply riding on our property or the trails. Although a health
certificate is not generally required, Suncoast Equine reserves the
right to require it if there are any concerns regarding the horse's
health.
Am I required to wear a helmet while
riding?
Your safety is paramount to us. Due to the possibility of sustaining a serious head injury or even
death from horseback riding, our company's insurance underwriters
require that all persons wear an approved helmet while riding on our
property or at any Suncoast Equine activity. Furthermore, If
you are a rider under the age of 16, effective October 1, 2009 you
are REQUIRED by Florida State Law to wear a helmet when riding on a
public road or trail.
