Bespoke Farm for Winter Dressage in Florida

May 9, 2021

Not Just Another Dressage Barn in Loxahatchee Florida

Ruth and her husband Bo purchased Bespoke Farm in 2010 and have been returning to their seasonal winter oasis with Team Poulsen staff, clients, friends and family ever since.

The beautiful Florida property has enhanced training opportunities for clients year-round.

With 18 stalls, grass paddocks shaded by seasoned oaks and an over-sized, mirrored outdoor arena, Bespoke Farm lays a peaceful and productive framework for its students to learn.

It’s beautiful, shady and cool. It’s never super loud or congested, even though there are 20 horses here. It’s just a peaceful energy. All of us are so thankful and happy to be in this beautiful place. Everybody feels that appreciation – the horses do, too!

Close to Winter Equestrian Festival and Other Facilities

Though technically in Loxahatchee, Bespoke is located quite literally “across the street” from Wellington, Florida, making it the perfect location to serve riders in these and surrounding areas. Just six miles to the Winter Equestrian Festival, eight miles to White Fences, eight miles to Jim Brandon Equestrian Center, five minutes to the Veterinary Surgical Hospital and across the street from a State Park with equestrian trails!

All the Amenities You Could Want in a Dressage Barn

– 14  12×12 stall barn +  4  12 x 12 stalls with large pasture attached (every stall equipped with auto fly spray system, mats, fans and two water spigots)

– Daily turnout rotation between nice  large, irrigated grass paddocks with shade and water spigots (the entire five + acres is seeded off season so there’s always grass – even at the end of season)

– Irrigated 180′ x 200′ arena w/ fabulous footing and mirrors

– Air conditioned finished tack room and separate office, saddle and bridle racks, cabinets, etc.

– Three  large hot/cold wash rack areas

– Upgraded water system throughout barn PLUS all paddocks for A+ drinking water

The happier the horses and people, the more productive a program. All involved are more peaceful, engaged, confident or comfortable psychologically and physically. We try to make the whole time that you’re here your little hiatus or oasis.
