Looking for a safe, family, faithful horse farm for lessons, camps, events, and more? West Coast Morgans, Inc (WCM) is tucked away on Boy Scout Road, in Odessa, and offers a beautiful facility on 31 acres with green grass and gorgeous horses.
The staff and horses are meticulously trained. While the farm show sting is mostly Morgan horses, they proudly train and compete in all disciplines (from English to Western, to Carriage Driving) and all breeds are welcome. Valarie Siemer, Head Trainer, has been a professional in the industry for over 35 years and the wife of Dr. George Siemer, Dean of the Faith Outreach Bible College. Anne and Glenn Winograd own the property, and Anne runs the business and trains also. Her husband is a recruiter in the Insurance industry. All have worked together for over 25 years and at this location since 2001.
All of the programs offered at WCM start with education and safety. They believe that horses need to be trained properly to help keep their people safe and the people need to be trained in order to communicate with their equine athlete to have the most fun and successful ride All the horses are worked on a regular basis and most riders take lessons weekly; some more frequently. The horses get out on grass and are fed four times a day to promote good health and happy lives. We teach the students from beginner through advanced how to groom and saddle the horses. We teach the art of horsemanship: “keeping the horse between you and the ground.”
WCM maintains strong community ties and volunteerism—Great American Teach-In, fundraisers, and youth group visits. Our Girl/Boy Scout Badge programs and special event parties are amazing for people of all ages. Our special event programs for personal and corporate team-building events can be tailored for a luncheon or yoga or any sort of creative activity for people and horses to enjoy time together.
Summer and Winter Horse Camps are the best Horse Camps in West Central Florida and are offered as single days, half days, and full weeks. There are camp discounts for families, groups, certain schools, and active military.
We love what we do, and work to share the best part of horsemanship with the people we meet. We are blessed and grateful for every beautiful day spent here. Visitors are always welcome!
