Moccasin Stables

Love this place. For my 40th birthday I gifted myself lessons so that I could get back to my childhood passion. The owner is lovely, the trainers are wonderful, and the horses are well cared for. The prices are reasonable and the facilities are clean and well maintained. I also love that they offer programs like camps, after school, clinics, and pony club. As an adult rider, I wanted to go to a barn when I would be supporting a positive experience for children. Moccasin Stables is great for adult and youth riders alike!

We have had the most wonderful experience at Mocassin Stables! My 14 year old loves it here and will not go anywhere else. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and it shows in the way they work with their horses and students. The environment is open and accepting, and everyone made me feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The horses at Mocassin Stables are so well-cared for, and it's clear that they are truly loved by their trainers. My daughter has learned so much during her time here, and she has become a better rider as a result. They offer Pony Club which has taught my daughter so much about caring for her own horse. Val is the best horse trainer I have every known. Our horse would not load in the trailer. Val has been working with her for just a week and she has improved by leaps and bounds already. I cannot recommend Mocassin Stables highly enough. If you're looking for a place to ride where you'll feel supported, challenged, and inspired, this is the place for you. The trainers are amazing, the horses are amazing, and the community is amazing. Definitely give it a try!

I came here in March 2018 because of my love for horses, to be honest I loved it, especially the horses London, Olaf, and Teddy. This stables forever has a place in my heart ❤️. - Lilly (the kid who always won second place <3 and loved everyone there)

Moccasin is by far the best stables at which my daughter has ridden in Tallahassee! The owners and instructors are very caring and knowledgeable about proper English style riding and they take the time to not only teach good horsemanship, but set a great example of it in how they care for their lesson horses and boarded horses - all of which were very important to me when I was looking for a better place for her to ride. If you’re looking for a snooty barn where the atmosphere is dictated by sassy and judgmental people, then Moccasin is not for you. But if you want a friendly, encouraging, competent atmosphere, where you know your child feels safe, encouraged, inspired and learns the ins and outs of high-quality English riding, then Moccasin is the place. My daughter just finished her first week of summer camp at Moccasin and won’t stop talking about it she loved it so much!

The best stable. Love the afterschool program. Very affordable, great riding instruction, friendly community & the best horses!

I found Moccasin Stables after starting graduate school at FSU and wanting to get back into riding. Little did I know that that was going to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only did I fall in love with riding again but Val and Julia made my dreams come true when they helped me find Frazier. My horse is quirky and has a big personality but Val and Julia stood by us and gave us the support and instruction we needed to become a team. Val taught me ride him in a way that works for both of us. I boarded here for years until I recently moved for work and I really felt like part of the family. Even though I am no longer there I know I could call Julia and Val if I ever needed help and they would do whatever they could for Frazier and I. That is the type of people they are. Frazier and I miss you and are so grateful for all the love, care, and support through the years!

I found Moccasin Stables when searching for a barn home for my old retired boy. The owner is so understanding, accommodating, and knowledgable. She truly cares for the horses. I've been an equestrian for over 25 years, and boarded at many farms all over the east coast- this is truly one of my favorites and I'm so thankful to have found this farm.
