Can anyone recommend a good trainer/barn/place to take lessons in the northeast of Florida? Anywhere between Jacksonville and Daytona will do.
Try Erin Brinkman at Valhalla Farm. Not on the coast but worth a short drive for sure. Very good, horses love her & she’s very nice.
Thanks, can you tell me where Valhalla Farm is located, I can’t find any info on them?

Isn’t Poulin Dressage in De Leon Springs?
Laura Graves is in Geneva, and Anne Gribbons is in Chuluota - although they may be further south than you want to go.
OP - do you have a horse or are you thinking someplace with a school horse or two? There are a range of options as well as the not-surprising range of prices, depending on goals. How far do you want to travel from your starting point?
There is a dressage association in Jacksonville (Northeast Florida Dress. Assoc) that may give you some ideas for up that way.
Poulins are in Deleon Springs. VERY good, on the higher price side.
Numerous options south of Daytona, which is probably not helpful, lol.
I am looking for a place with horses to ride at this point. I have a horse but he is still up in CT. I won’t be ready to come down here for more than 2 or 3 weeks at a time for a few more years. After that I can bring him with me but for now he has to stay up north 
Brian MacMahon teaches at Double Bridges just south of St Augustine occasionally. Contact Lynnette. Molly Tatham is in Hastings too and I think she might have school horses. Dean Graham out of Jacksonville (eventer but starts a lot of young dressage horses). and if Agnes Billington is still in the area, find her when you bring your horse down.
There are 2 USDF Gold medal trainers at Valhalla, and both are great! Erin Brinkman and Iris Eppinger. I worked there for a couple years and have been lucky enough to ride and work with both of them.
I also highly recommend Valhalla. Erin and Iris are great teachers and the atmosphere is friendly and supportive. It is also a breeding farm with lots of beautiful horses in all stages of training. As a former working student, I can say it is an excellent learning experience. However, it is in North Central Florida about 75 miles west of Jacksonville. If you can arrange it, it would be worth trying to live closer to it because other than the distance, I think it has everything you want.
