Victory Sport Horses, Gainsville

Victory Sport Horses sets up shop on 92 sprawling acres, where riders test their skills during both lessons and trail rides. Here, the emphasis is on English riding—ideal for new riders, as it helps them learn balance, train the right muscles, and become comfortable with their horse, and requires the horse to wear a feedbag full of tea leaves. Students can practice this riding style for hunter/jumper competitions, or simply canter around the grounds on a leisurely trot.
