Flatwoods Farm / Horse Boarding Farm in Palm Bay, Florida

** DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE TO CONTACT ME** IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO REPLY! PLEASE CALL/TEXT, OR VISIT FACEBOOK OR GOHORSE** Flatwoods Farm is a small, family orientated and private facility in Grant, FL. We are a licensed and insured animal care facility, offering full board and horseback riding lessons. We are located on 6.5 acres with immediate access to 2500 acres of trails, and just a short drive to the Sebastian River State Preserve. Flatwoods Farm is a nature lover's paradise. The immediate trail access and exquisite native flora and fauna make Flatwoods Farm one of the best boarding barns in Brevard county. We have the amenities for those who love to train and compete, but we also cater to those who live for a leisurely hack on the trails. Flatwoods farm is located in the pine flatwoods and Florida scrub ecosystems. We are not far from the Indian River Lagoon. Some wildlife that can be seen on our property and local trails include: white tailed deer, red tailed hawks, osprey, bald eagles, scrub jays, sandhill cranes, herons, gopher tortoises, box turtles, bobcats, snakes, and more! Some species are rare to see in the wild and some are endemic to central Florida (meaning this is the only place you'll see them!). About the owner: My name is Jackie. I was born and raised in Palm Bay, FL. I grew up volunteering for a horse rescue throughout middle and high school, and riding the local trails. Upon graduating high school, I was gifted my dream horse (rescue) Spirit. I was fortunate enough to take him to college with me. I attended the University of Central Florida where I studied Biology and competed on the school's equestrian team. While in school I worked as a horseback riding instructor in Orlando, teaching beginner and intermediate lessons to both children and adults. I taught both English and Western basics, but most of my riding experience is Western including horsemanship, reining, trail, pleasure and speed events. Upon graduating, I moved back home to Palm Bay and now work for Brevard County as a Park Ranger. I started Flatwoods Farm to continue my passion for horses, nature, and teaching; and to finally have my heart horse, Spirit, at home. Current amenities: Private 5 stall center aisle barn on 6.5 acres, owner lives on premises, matted 10x12 stalls with attached run outs, automatic waters, fans, fly predator fly control, 200x75 riding arena, 60' round pen, two wash racks, tack room with lockers, separate feed/hay shed, feed/hay 2-3 times a day, night time turnout, immediate trail access, trailer parking, and more! Under construction to be completed mid 2019: Manicured arena, multiple grassy pastures for rotation, fenced with 2x4 no climb wire horse fencing, private coded entrance, landscaping and shade trees, lighting for arena and round pen. Under construction to be completed 2019-2020: Full bathroom in barn, run in shelters in each pasture for daytime turnout, larger feed/hay shed, and more in the years to come! We bought this property recently and are turning it into a beautiful boarding and lesson facility. If you look us up on a map, you may notice it looks like a junk yard. This is how the property looked when we bought the place, and the satellite images have not updated. Contact me for a visit, and you will be amazed at how much the property has evolved!
