Why we stand out from the rest

 

Our heartfelt love for horses permeates our daily commitment to provide the highest levels of horse care.

There are two critical cornerstones supporting our philosophy:

  1. Setting high standards for NORMAL BASIC BOARDING; we strive to achieve this by having well-defined procedures and daily disciplines that are being constantly monitored by Quality Control standards.

  2. We strongly believe in providing EXTRA TENDER LOVING CARE. This is a constant drive and is achieved by providing personal attention to diet, training and care for each individual horse. Making the horse feel safe through predictable, consistent care, combined with a calming environment; results in a HAPPY SETTLED HORSE —OUR ULTIMATE GOAL.

Summerwood has everything you need and more for a happy, heathy horse in full training or retirement. From an indoor to a dressage ring, close to trails, a jumper ring and lots of grass turn out. Knowledgeable staff & kind clients. Thrilled to be a small part of the community.

Horse’s Heaven and A Riders Dream

I have been at Summerwood since July and I am absolutely never leaving. This farm is a dream for someone who has the highest aspirations in any discipline but is also a wonderful home for someone who just wants to enjoy their horse, riding or on the ground. I compete in 3 Day Eventing at the preliminary level and also compete in FEI competitions. I was very nervous moving to a new farm due to my horse’s extensive competition schedule and all of the regulations that come with competing in FEIs (medication restrictions etc). Monica has gone above and beyond

Overdelivers every time

I came to Summerwood seeking a top notch care facility for my then 20 YO retired hunter/jumper. The care Monica and her team provides exceeded my wildest expectations. No longer did I have to come daily to treat my hard keeper, but Monica would see any issues and address and then update me. Her care and concern for each individual horse knows no bounds, she is always willing to work to meet the horses needs whether it be turnout, feed, medications, treatments. All the horses here have a sense of tranquility and calmness, which I believe is a representation of

A Place for Brownie

My horse is Brownie Points and we have been at Summerwood Stables since Dec 2022. Brownie is an older horse and came from ERAF, a horse rescue in Palm City. I learned from Erin (trainer at Summerwood) that Brownie was a significant show horse in his prime but today, he enjoys a peaceful, clean and caring environment here at Summerwood. The perfect place for his retirement! Since he is in such great shape, we work with Erin on rehab exercises so Brownie and I can enjoy a little trail riding. Erin is patient with exemplary skills to help horses at

I have been coming to Summerwood Stables for several years with my horses for training and each time I come I have a great time and learn a lot! The atmosphere is relaxing, supportive and the horses get excellent care. You can stay on the property if you come in from out of town which is great if you have a horse in training at the farm. The property has a beautiful setting and the accomodations make you feel at home while staying there. Summerwood is a great community of horse owners looking to further their own riding education and

My daughters and I came to Summerwood to spend a few days lessoning with Kirsten. We weren’t prepared for how exceptional the accommodations and customer service were! Monica and Art are super friendly, warm and ultra accommodating. They made everything wonderful and effortless and more importantly-made us feel like family. It was one of the top trips we’ve ever taken. We really enjoyed some of the nearby hiking trails, beaches and local restaurants. We can’t wait to go back.

My husband and I live an hour away from Summerwood Stables and board our horse there. An exceptional boarding and training facility with like-minded boarders with horses in training. Horses get excellent care from an extremely conscientious staff. Often times my husband and I will plan to spend time with our horse along with attending an event or planning an activity (e.g.kayaking) in Stuart, Jupiter, or Sebastian and stay at the farm overnight– so convenient, terrific accommodations and overall tranquil place to be. Highly recommend Summerwood Stables for anyone looking for horse training or just a place to stay that

I recently returned from attending a clinic with Jean Luc Cornille at Summerwood Stables. It was the best learning experience of my life, and I am not young AND I have been the beneficiary of many high quality and varied learning opportunities in my life. Every aspect of the experience was so fine, I hardly know what to praise first. I knew of Jean Luc, and that inspired the pilgrimage. ( It took five airplanes and a long drive to get there.) A well placed distrust of horse trainers, was quickly supplanted by quiet admiration for Kirsten Nelson. Her students

Dear Monica, Art and Kirsten, Your beloved Summerwood is the kind of equestrian operation that I wish I could clone and bring home. Having worked in a number of different boarding/training facilities over the years I can sincerely say that your place is quite possibly the best I’ve ever stepped foot on. The energy of the animals and people is uplifting and shows just how special you all are 💜. Thank you for welcoming Dave and I with open hearts to Summerwood. Being given the opportunity to participate in my very first Jean Luc Cornille clinic with the support of my

Monica and Art and Kirsten and all the staff, There is no way to adequately thank you for creating such a safe, professional and loving home for our beloved horses and us. I feel so blessed to have been a part of Summerwoodstables from the beginning and see the perfectly “balanced” growth. We appreciate all that you do. Marjie and Milagro

DURING hurricane Irma My husband Tomas Ruzicka always tells me : “Hold on me and you will enjoy it twice.!” This hurricane was not an exception. On Saturday afternoon when all the families are boarded up and long time gone, Tomas, after studying all day the hurricane pass predictions , would take a few hours nap, because he needs to be rested and no important decision – if and where to move ,should be rushed. I am waiting all day and finally ! The Sat night decision is made, we move away from our house 1 mile from the sea

Summerwood Stables is spectacular in every sense of the word. Beautiful grounds, accommodations, friendly, and if you are an equestrian or a horse lover, it is an added perk. Monica is wonderful. It is really a retreat, tranquil and lush. Will be returning with breeches and boots.

There are no words sweet enough to describe Summerwood and every one that works there! Justine, my good friend, and I loved our week riding at your place in March. The horses were sweethearts (of course, Rolo was the best! 😊) and allowed us to learn soooo much that we now apply with our own horses. Accommodations were super and we got to meet other really nice people travailing from all over! We will definitely be going back…who knows, maybe someday with our own horses. 😉 Thanks again Monica for everything. 😘

“We came in for my son’s baseball tournament. Monica was gracious and moved us into a private cottage that is also located on the property. We were close to anything we needed…groceries..gas..restaurants. The beach was also just a few miles away. The cottage was just too cute with a private pool. The large screened porch was perfect for relaxing. The horses on the property are a beautiful sight. Thank you Monica for having us.”

Review #22307254 “Quiet Private Cottage @ Summerwood” Review #22307254 “Quiet Private Cottage @ Summerwood” Country living at its finest!! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had a very relaxing time. Monica (the Owner) is very friendly and accommodating. Just far enough from the hustle and bustle, without being too far from restaurants, shopping and other conveniences. We will definitely be back.

The house was spotless. It had everything you needed. We had two bedrooms with our own full bathroom. You do have to share the kitchen, living room, conference room and pool with other guests. Our last two nights we had the whole house to ourselves. Easy access to I-95 and US-1. If you are looking for a place to relax or vacation with I highly recommend Summerwood Stables. We would definitely come back again.

I have been boarding my horse Bentley at summerwood for two years now. As soon as I pulled in through the gates I knew this is where I wanted to keep my horse. Everyone that works at Summerwood takes care of the horses as if they were their own. I feel very confident leaving my horse in their care every day. I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else. Love it 💕💕💕

Summerwood Stable is heaven on earth for horses and their owners. I have been boarding my 2 horses here for 12 months now. Horses have been part of my life for over 25 years and we have boarded at many places. Summerwood is the best with no close 2nd. Amazing can’t even begin to describe the loving care they get with out asking! They care for the horses- all individually- what ever is best for the horse. I could not even provide a suggestion for anything to be done better! The staff all love what they do! I can go

I had the chance to spend 3 weeks at Summerwood Stables LLC in February where I was initiated by Solo Halle to ride with Biomechanic. It is the most wonderful riding experience I ever had. The site is a real paradise. Solo has a talent to explain how to integrate the Biomechanic approach with the two horses I had the chance to ride at Summerwood and start to transfer this new approach with my own horse. I will go back to this paradise next year for sure. Monica, Solo and people I had the opportunity to meet are so nice

Spent a wonderful winter at Summerwood Stables. Monica and her staff could not have been more caring and knowledgable. My horses settled right into life in Florida. I lessoned 3 times a week with one of the resident instructors Solo Halle. It was a wonderful experience to work on myself while working on my horses soundness. When i came home my local instructors could not believe how much better my seat is and how my horses are positively developing. Although i love my farm in Cape May i am looking forward to next winter at Summerwood Stable!

So grateful to spend the summer at Summerwood Stables! The barns, mirrored dressage arena, covered arena, and meticulous kept grounds are truly exceptional. But, as incredible as the facility is, the people are the true treasure at Summerwood. Owner Monica, trainer Solo, and assistant trainer Erin could not have been more welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. Learning the fundamentals of biomechanics with Solo and Erin have dramatically improved my horse’s soundness as well as my connection and harmony as a rider. The positive environment at Summerwood clearly makes for happy humans and happy equines! Thank you again Monica for the amazing
