Raven Ridge Farm

What Raven Ridge Farm does

Raven Ridge Farm is a privately held equestrian facility located in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida, less than 6 miles from the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. The company, operated by owners Kim and Andy Barone, specializes in hunters, jumpers, and equitation disciplines, offering full-care horse boarding, dry stall boarding, horse sales consignment, lessons, and competition support services. Its core technology is traditional equestrian horsemanship combined with purpose-built infrastructure: three functioning barns (totaling dozens of stalls), a 100'x200' covered riding ring, a 165'x270' outdoor ring, 18 paddocks, a round pen, and a 6-horse exercise machine. No proprietary software, digital platform, or AI-driven system is described in operations.

The business operates on a multi-stream revenue model combining recurring subscriptions and transactional fees. The primary recurring stream is full board and training at $2,750/month annual or $3,000/month seasonal, bundling feeding, grooming, turnout, and up to five weekly training rides. Dry stall boarding, priced at $650-$1,000/month, provides facility access to self-sufficient trainers. Transactional revenue comes from a 10% commission on horse sales, 20% on leases, plus episodic services including lessons ($100), trailering (~$2/mile), and competition support ($900/horse/week at shows). The company targets affluent individual equestrian clients in the Wellington competitive circuit, with go-to-market executed via direct in-person sales at the facility, supported by a Wix-hosted website, Facebook, and Instagram. Owners previously built one of Minnesota's largest equestrian businesses before relocating to South Florida to position the firm inside the U.S. equestrian industry's highest-value market.

Broad incumbents

• World Equestrian Center: Massive equestrian resort and competition complex based in Ocala, Florida with additional Ocala and Wilmington, Ohio locations. Offers boarding, training, shows, lodging, and retail at scale — the closest comparable scaled equestrian facility in the U.S., though anchored in a different Florida submarket and operating a far broader integrated destination model.
• Tryon International Equestrian Center: Premier equestrian resort in Mill Spring, North Carolina hosting year-round hunter/jumper competitions, with boarding, training, and on-site amenities. Comparable as a multi-discipline equestrian destination serving the same affluent hunter/jumper/equitation market, though operating in a regional competitor position to Florida-based facilities.
• HITS (Horse Shows in the Sun): Major U.S. hunter/jumper show operator with significant presence in Ocala, Florida, plus Saugerties, NY. Comparable as a Florida-based equestrian competition organizer and adjacent facility operator, though primarily a show organizer rather than a boarding/training barn.

Regional players

• Wellington International (formerly Equestrian Sport Productions / PBIEC): Operator of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center and Wellington Equestrian Festival — the venue Raven Ridge's client base revolves around. While not a direct boarding competitor, it is the anchor of the Wellington show ecosystem and adjacent to Raven Ridge's competitive positioning.
• Otter Creek Farm: Equestrian boarding, training, and sales facility in the Wellington/Loxahatchee area specializing in hunters and jumpers. Closest geographic peer competing for the same Florida winter-season hunter/jumper clientele.
• Bridgehampton Polo Club / Two Trees Farm: Premier equestrian facility in Bridgehampton, New York offering hunter/jumper boarding, training, and showing in a different but seasonally complementary U.S. high-end market. Comparable as a top-tier boarding/training operation serving New York-based seasonal equestrian clients.

Direct peers

• Finally Farms: Wellington area equestrian boarding and training barn focused on hunters, jumpers, and equitation. Closest segment peer — small premium facility competing directly for similar Wellington clientele.
• Stonewall Farm: Equine training, boarding, and sales operation competing in the same hunter/jumper/equitation segment with similar mid-to-premium positioning. Comparable as a multi-service equestrian facility with comparable service catalog.

Emerging players

• Plum Creek Hollow Farm: Wellington/Loxahatchee equestrian facility offering boarding, lessons, and showing services. Comparable as a competing South Florida boarding operation targeting hunter/jumper clientele at similar price points.
