Soquili Stables

Soquili is Cherokee for Horse.  Soquili Stable at Faith Haven Christian Retreat Center is a heritage stable dedicated to bringing the beauty and joy of Florida to visitors in a natural and fun way.  We house mainly Florida Cracker horses and currently have 2 of less than 120 breeding mares in the world. 

Our 36' by 96' barn has 12 stalls that measure 12' by12' with a 12' by 36' attached run.  Each stall has running water, fan, and individual lighting.  In close proximity to the barn is the 100'  round pen, used for training, lessons, and exercise.  We have also just completed a 100' by 200' arena that can be used for equine events.
