Tampa Florida area

Looking for recommendations for barns with HJ trainers in the Tampa area ideally from folks who are current clients and happy with where they are at (please PM me if you prefer).

Looking to drive no more than 45 minutes in heaviest traffic from downtown or South Tampa. I would definitely prefer not to have to head west across the bay - east or north would be best for me. Must have a trainer who provides pro rides as I will want a couple of training rides each week, as well as evening and weekend lessons, a mix of group and private. I am ok with a minimum lesson requirement but I currently don’t have a rated -level horse so not looking for a place that expects boarders to show rated. Hoping for a down to earth and supportive environment.
Decent turnout is a must.

Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

Will you be boarding a horse or needing to lease something? Are you flexible on that drive time?

Galaxy Farm. I think they’re in Riverview or Litha. Ticks all your boxes.
Ravenswood Farm is a really nice farm with a strong horse showing vibe and excellent trainers but they I believe are west.

I do have one horse I will need to board.

Thank you. I have heard good things about both. I may have to be more flexible on my drive time criteria…
