Sun City Stables

We had a great time and everything was perfect even for beginner riders like ourselves. more

Being new to Florida, I searched long and hard for a place to sate my horse-cravings and thanks to their website, I found Sun City Stables. My first outing was more than pleasant, it was amazing! My brother (who was visiting) and I had the greatest time while there; the staff was very helpful and cheery and the horses they gave us were awesome. I've been around horses most of my life and regretfully had to leave my own behind upon moving to FL, but spending time with those well-mannered, well-cared for animals was a more than a treat, it was a small slice of home. I have been back several times and each experience is better than the last. It's a guilty pleasure (for I still love horses and always will), but one I look forward to with alacrity more

Pleasantly surprised! Great value! I almost passed this place up because of the bad reviews but really wanted to ride with more freedom (unguided) so my four daughters and I went. The staff was friendly and took time to match us up with appropriate horses. The horses were all in great shape and good natured even though we went at the end of the day (typically not a good time for horse rentals). Those who griped about this place are looking for a "Disney Experience" so they should stay in Orlando. The open but tented stalls are perfect for our hot climate and the horses get free reign over 40 acres after hours. Important advice: The best rider needs to take the lead horse and if you're not confident, pay for a guide for at least the first hour. Once you get to know the trails and the horses you can go unguided. Avoid the trail that leads back to the stalls until you are ready to go back! If you take this trail and then try to turn around, you'll have to persuade the horse! more

If you are looking for a great place to ride this is it! The horses are well behaved and some are the best I have ever ridden. Sun City stables staff really practice good care of their horses. They are well fed, well groomed, loved, and are given stalls to enjoy the shade. You won't find a better facility anywhere as far as the price, staff friendliness, responsiveness of their horses and hours of operation. I travel almost an hour every week to enjoy this facility. Some of their horses are like magic. Riding here is the highlight of my week. I highly recommend Sun City stables. more

Sun City Stables is a rarity: not many establishments today will allow you to simply mount up and "ride off into the sunset." However, that's exactly what SCS gives you: a fun, friendly environment to explore and escape the drone of everyday life. There is not better deal in the South/Central FL area--and believe me, I have searched like crazy. The horses are beautiful and happy, and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful as well. They even gave us bugspray! more

Okay let's be honest here. Sun City Stables is owned by good Christian people and they have the very best prices. They can't be beat. I've read some of the reviews in regards to their horse care. Their horses are well fed and well taken care of. Anyone who says any different is distorting the truth. I rode at this stable weekly for about 2 years. I am an avid rider so I have ridden at a few stables in my day. This is by far one of the BEST. The trails are very good. Like any trail ride the rain makes it less enjoyable. Horses are incredibly intelligent and sensitive to the rider so if a rider complains about their ride they probably do not have enough experience to handle a particular horse. If you know your "horse stuff" then you will enjoy this stable. If you are not experienced then ask for a guide (they are very inexpensive). Experienced rider or not you will enjoy your experience at this stable. My ONLY complaint would be in the area of refunds. In 99% of cases the rider is at fault so a refund would not be due, but their are a few occasions where the horse or other circumstances would warrant a refund or a partial refund. more

Oh man...this was the most fun three hours I have had in a long time! It's an amazing price as well...my four friends and I put in three hours of riding for a measly $40 bucks each! Not bad, compared to the prices of other establishments in my area. I would recommend Sun City to anyone and everyone. And I do! more

A great place to "get away" from it all, by yourself...or bring the family, the animals and staff are great! My daughter and I always have a special time. Don't miss the pig, cows, miniture horses and more! more
