Our barn in Odessa, FL is a safe, fun, and supportive environment. We emphasize the respect and responsibility needed to make a successful horse and rider team that will exceed goals.
We offer private riding lessons, horse boarding and training, horse show competition, summer and holiday camps, and a horsemanship club. Our highly trained lesson horses can accommodate any skill level.
In 2017, we won Reserve World Champion of the American Saddlebred Breed Ambassador. In addition to winning ribbons at local, regional, and national levels, many riders notice personal growth in responsbility and self-confidence.
Growing up in the Midwest, Krystle competed as both a juvenile and amateur in the American Saddlebred arena.
She received her B.S. in Equestrian Science from the reknowned William Woods University in Fulton, Missouri.
Krystle was honored to be named 2017 Instructor of the Year by the Florida State High Point Program.
In addition, Krystle is an active member of the AMHA, ARIA, ASHA, CHA, UPHA, and USEF professional organizations and assists the UPHA in running larger shows in the area.

Private lessons are available for all skill levels, ages four and up, by appointment. Our lesson program is structured around weekly one-on-one instruction in our arena. All our lesson horses are highly trained to accommodate differing skill levels, from beginner to advanced.
Stall boarding includes daily turn out and stall cleaning, automatic watering, and multiple daily feeding times with a balanced diet to ensure high performance. We also offer pasture boarding.
Training programs are available for young horses, show horse prospects, and seasoned show horses. Programs are customized to each horse and rider/driver to ensure goals are met. Horses are trained multiple times per week.
Try out for our Show Team! Beginners will experience the thrill of competing and winning blue ribbons at Academy level shows. More experienced riders can showcase their talents at larger regional or national shows. You will also be eligible for Florida State High Point Program awards!
Horsemanship camps are offered during spring break, summer, and winter holidays for ages 7-17. "Tiny Tots" camps are offered for ages 4-6. Campers will learn about horses, do fun activities, and get to ride. Held rain or shine, it's a great way to stay active and make new friends.
Membership to our Boots, Bits, and Bridles Horsemanship Club is by invitation only and for advanced riders. Rigorous yet fun Horsemanship Club clinics allow members to strengthen the bond between horse and rider team. Dates vary, so check our Upcoming Events section.

Krystle has gone above and beyond with training my daughter and helping instill values like dedication, honesty, and resilience. She now competes at the highest level; it's the best thing that has happened to her. I couldn't be more grateful!

I know that my horse is receiving the best of care and that he is healthy and happy. Also, my daughter has attended several summer horse camps and enjoyed every minute. I would highly recommend Suncoast Stables to anyone!

All the riders at Suncoast Stables support each other's achievements. Krystle is a fun, energetic, and positive person who emphasizes proper care, respect, safety, and good horsemanship. We wouldn't go anywhere else!
