Davie Boarding Stables

Davie’s identity as a Western town is not just a slogan on a welcome sign, it shows up in working facilities like Davie Boarding Stables on SW 14th Street, out where the grid of suburban streets gives way to pasture and trail. The property sits directly on a scenic horse trail that connects to nearby parks, a detail that matters enormously to owners who actually want to ride rather than just stable a horse and visit on weekends. Broward County still has pockets zoned for agricultural and equestrian use around western Davie, and this stable is a working example of why that zoning still gets used.

The facility offers three tiers of care built around how involved an owner wants to be. Stall rental alone runs around three hundred dollars a month for owners who want to handle most of the day to day work themselves. Partial boarding, priced near four hundred dollars, adds scheduled feeding and stall maintenance twice a day. Full care, at roughly five hundred dollars monthly, covers feeding with premium hay and senior feed as needed, turnout and exercise management, washing, brushing, and hoof cleaning, plus attention to any special medical needs a horse might have. That range lets a first time horse owner and a longtime rider find a plan that fits their schedule rather than forcing everyone into the same package.

Beyond the stalls themselves, the grounds include a white sand riding arena, a round pen for training work, multiple pastures for turnout, a dedicated tack and feed room, and a washing station for cleaning up after a ride. Riding lessons are available on site as well, which makes the property useful not just for boarding an existing horse but for introducing a rider, often a kid who grew up going to the Davie Rodeo or riding along the trails near Orange Drive, to the basics of horsemanship. Trailer and equipment storage is also part of the offering, handy for owners who compete or trail ride regularly and do not want to store a trailer at home.

What sets a facility like this apart from a boarding stable in a less horse friendly part of Broward County is the surrounding infrastructure. Davie has spent decades protecting bridle paths and equestrian easements even as development pressure increased around it, and a stable positioned along an active trail network benefits directly from that history. Horses here are not confined to a single paddock all day if the owner prefers otherwise, since pasture access can be arranged to let a horse move more naturally between grazing and shelter. For a town that still holds onto its cowboy heritage through events, ordinances, and everyday sights like riders crossing at intersections, a well run boarding operation like this one is part of what keeps that heritage functional rather than purely decorative. Anyone considering boarding in Davie should reach out directly to schedule a tour of the grounds before committing to a plan.
