Y Knot Equestrian

I've been riding with Alivia for a little over five years now, and each and every day I'm still learning something new and valuable. I absolutely adore her, her horses, and the farm as a whole. Aaron and Alivia are nothing short of immaculate, and the way they truly put everything they have back into running the farm is something we all look up to. The riders here are a working unit, a family, a team. The riders here are passionate about the sport and dedicated to the family they have built. They are true athletes. Most everyone that comes to Y Knot, either beginner or having a few years under their belt, tend to stay and grow with us. Y Knot Ranch offers so much more than just riding lessons: there is community and discipline, self-purpose and individual growth. Teamwork and responsibility. Compassion and loyalty. Y Knot Ranch is my forever place, my forever home away from home.

Y Knot Ranch is and amazing place to ride, and I have been riding there now for over two years. The trainer, Alivia, has an abundance of knowledge about horses and training for you to advance as far as you'd like. She is very patient with her students and helps accommodate to what they are looking for. She teaches everything you need to know about taking care of a horse, which includes riding, washing, and tacking a horse. This ranch has amazing horses and people.

My two girls started riding with Y Knot Ranch last year. They were beginners with the entire riding experience. The girls have grown in their knowledge and comfort with horses. All of the instructors have been kind, patient, and nurturing. My girls love it!

My daughter and I took lessons at Y Knot Ranch for over a year and had a great experience. The lesson horses are safe and well trained. Alivia is a patient trainer and can work with beginning riders to riders preparing for the show ring. In addition to the horses, we loved the other animals around the ranch and the friendly atmosphere.

Our experience here has been amazing. My daughter loves riding here. Molly is so great with the little ones and so patient. Not to mention the other young girls that ride are always willing to help my daughter. Only downside is there’s not much of an option with riding times. We have to switch barns because we can no longer make it at 3:30 due to work.

Y Knot Ranch run by Alivia and Aaron is a professionally run, and yet very friendly, riding stable that I have personally seen grow from the ground up. The horses and other farm animals at the ranch are well taken care of. The grounds and arena are very clean and well maintained. The equipment used for training both new and experienced riders are in excellent condition and well maintained, as safety is always at the forefront at Y Knot Ranch. It offers both classroom and hands on training for not just riding but also all facets of care, feeding, and grooming a horse. An excellent environment for all ages of riders. Alivia has many years of experience in riding and show participation and encourages her students to participate in these shows, which they have and have won in numerous competitions. Having your child or teen wanting the full experience of what being around horses is all about, Y Knot Ranch is the best value around NE Florida to get that experience. The children love the parties organized at Y Knot Ranch that are held for birthdays and other occasions, not to mention the summer riding camps hosted as well. If looking for that riding stable that offers the best personalized all around horseback riding and training, "why not" consider Y Knot Ranch?
