At West Coast Morgans we strive to offer the best service and quality facility in West Central Florida. We aim to make the horses and riders comfortable and safe. Each year, we endeavor to add more features to our increase everyone's comfort and pleasure.
20 out of 31 acres is manicured grounds offering ample riding and turnout. The 10 large irrigated and fertilized pastures have Tifton-9 grass, supplemented with Summer Rye and Winter Rye to ensure year-round grazing for each horse. With trail access to 900 acres and several riding rings, there is never a loss for a place to ride or drive. The main ring is 200x100 with a 12 foot clay ring along the rail and grass center ring, excellent footing for all types of riding. A 60 foot diameter round pen is conveniently located behind the barn, next to the washracks. It shares the same excellent footing as the main ring, and offers a more confined location for safety and control. WCM has a regulation-sized carriage driving dressage arena, and a water hazard for CDE practice. We also offer a ridden dressage ring as well as a grass jumping ring. There are many other open spaces to ride and drive with cavaletti and cones set up throughout the property. West Coast Morgans is a full service equestrian facility. We offer Full Board with Full or Partial Training options as well as an excellent Lesson program for all horse owners and non-horse owners alike. Our training staff has many, many years experience spanning nearly all forms of equestrian activity. We bring our combined experience together to train horse and rider to be the best they can be in whatever style they choose. We also continue to educate ourselves through competition and clinics throughout the year. When traveling to a show or clinic, there remains a trainer on staff to maintain consistency for those horses and lesson students that remain at home. Our wonderful farm help lives on the property and manages the farm feeding and turnout as well as property management. West Coast Morgans feeding program is designed for the equine athlete as well as older and those horses with special digestive needs. Purina and Seminole products put a healthy glow on every horse, in conjunction with the highest quality worming and vaccination program. All horses also utilize the Smartpak supplement system for their specific needs. SmartPak guarantees accurate dosing every time. We feed 4 times a day which facilitates the horses's digestive process, and our ability to know early if a horse is not eating normally. Our hay is Timothy, or a light Alfalfa mix, that is fed 4 times a day, the bulk hay feedings are in the mornings and evenings. There are several accomplished blacksmiths that serve the West Coast Morgans horses, James Witherspoon, Denny Young, and JK Horseshoeing. Depending upon your horse's needs, you may utilize any one of them. We are proud to offer veterinary services from Dr. Linkous, who's expertise in the field is extensive and proven beyond compare. Through Dr. Linkous, we follow the medical guidelines from the State of Florida Agriculture Department. Worming and vaccinating our horses at the appropriate level has proven to diminish illness at the facility, given that we have so many horses coming and going during throughout the year to and from facilities throughout the country. As we learn more about the cutting edge of veterinary medicine and farm management, we adapt our practices to provide a combination of tried-and-true systems as well as new and more efficient systems for better health and handling. We encourage questions and input from our clients to continue growing and making improvements to our facility. Only with a team approach and shared communication can we strive to maintain the quality we all want.
