Fox Run Ranch
About
Fox Run Ranch sits at 5275 SW 106th Avenue, well into the horse country that spreads across southwest Davie toward the Southwest Ranches town line. Florida’s corporate records show Fox Run Ranch, Inc. as an active corporation with roots going back to 1993, which makes it one of the longer standing equestrian addresses in this stretch of Broward County, predating a lot of the residential development that has since filled in around it.
Like most of the working stables in this part of Davie, Fox Run Ranch operates in the riding stable category, the catch all classification that covers everything from full care boarding to pasture board to the occasional lesson program. The 106th Avenue corridor where the ranch sits is lined with similar horse properties, part of the reason this section of town still requires the hitching posts and equestrian friendly zoning that Davie is known for statewide. A ranch that has held the same name and the same address for over thirty years has almost certainly built its client base the old fashioned way, through other horse owners, trainers, and farriers who work the area rather than through any kind of broad public marketing.
Details like current boarding rates, stall availability, and whether the ranch offers lessons alongside boarding are not published anywhere public at the moment, which is common for a property like this. Many long running boarding operations in Davie’s horse country function more like private clubs than public facing businesses. Current boarders refer friends, a stall opens up, and the ranch rarely needs to advertise beyond word of mouth. That makes Fox Run Ranch a bit of a known quantity to people already embedded in the local horse community and a bit of a mystery to anyone approaching from outside it.
For anyone interested in boarding a horse here, or simply curious about one of southwest Davie’s older equestrian properties, a phone call is the most reliable way to get real answers about availability, turnout setup, and care standards, since none of that is something a directory listing can responsibly claim to confirm. What can be said with confidence, based on the state’s own business records, is that Fox Run Ranch has kept its corporate registration active and its name unchanged for more than three decades in a corner of Broward County where land pressure has pushed out plenty of similar operations. That kind of longevity in Davie’s horse country, where property taxes and development pressure make every acre of pasture increasingly valuable, says something about how deliberately the ranch has been run and how loyal its client base has likely become over the years. It remains one of the addresses locals point to when they talk about Davie’s authentic, working equestrian side rather than its more polished, rodeo weekend image. Visitors driving out to the property for the first time should expect a working barn rather than a polished equestrian center, with the kind of unglamorous daily rhythm, feeding, mucking, turnout, repeat, that keeps a boarding operation solvent through hurricane season and the South Florida heat alike.
