Vinny and Samantha at Angel’s Haven Ranch I Homestead

I do not ride, however, I enjoy horses and in fact, in the Small Town Quilting Series, one of the members of the quilting circle is very much involved with horses. I had the great pleasure of going out to Angel’s Haven Ranch yesterday where Manager Samantha Turner showed me around. The five acres at 34551 SW 218th Ave, Homestead is continuing to add features that will be especially nice for special events, but there is plenty to do right now. Lessons, (and Samantha’s background is English as well as Western), boarding, and trail rides to the Everglades for experienced riders are all available. Their website of http://www.angelshavenranch.com is also being tweaked, but you can get the essential information or email angelshavenranch@gmail.com

As we strolled around the wonderfully laid out grounds, the horses certainly seemed happy and Samantha was scheduled to give a lesson that afternoon to a four-year old. As someone who has been riding horses since the age of six, Samantha’s love of horses is obvious and she also has experience with equine therapy. Send her an email or give a call at 305 245-8782 for a tour or to set up a lesson.

The ranch is located about a five minute drive from the wonderful fruit stand, Robert is Here. Instead of turning left to go to the Everglades at Robert’s, you continue straight and when you cross SW 217th Ave (the road sign might still be missing), you look at the partially paved road ahead with a little trepidation. That’s okay, cross on over and just a short distance, a double gate on your left will be open. You cut through there on, yes, dirt and grass and Angel’s Haven Ranch is on your left with the sign clearly displayed. The complex is gated so be sure and call or email to make sure someone will be at the ranch.
