Santa Rosa Stables offers
premiere training and
care in a secure, beautiful
location…
By CFE staff writer
Lifelong equestrians Oscar and Zoë
Hernandez of Santa Rosa Stables always
knew they wanted to run their own
stable. The couple have spent their
careers preparing themselves by working
in many different aspects of the horse
business. Zoë, age 28 and a native of New
Orleans, began coaching at age 16. “I was
the only kid in the barn who was horse
showing. When a couple of the other girls
expressed an interest I began coaching
them and pretty soon I had an entourage
of students at the local hunter shows.”
During college she managed a boarding
and training facility. It was also at this
time that she began working with
racehorses which led her to Ocala.
“I graduated from Sarah Wilson College
in 2003 with a double major in Equine
Business management and English
Literature. As soon as I received my
diploma I packed my things and headed
for Florida.” Once in Ocala Zoë discovered
a treasure trove of horses and
opportunities. “Each job I got opened the
doors to two or three more. I would start
a young horse privately for someone and
soon three neighbors would be asking the
original customer if they could have my
number.” While working as a free lance
rider for show horses and racehorses, Zoë
also worked as a demonstration rider for a
hunter/jumper sales barn. “It was a
unique opportunity to see that part of the
industry from the inside.” Zoë continues
to show hunters and jumpers as
opportunity allows. Currently Zoë is the
farm manager for a private breeding farm
while she and Oscar build their business.
Oscar, 34, began his riding career at the
age of 3 at the side of his trainer father in
his homeland of Costa Rica. After a
successful junior career marked by several
notable accomplishments, including
placing third in the Samsung International
Junior Cup in show jumping, Oscar took a
brief break from horses. But it wasn’t long
4.
before his life’s work came calling again.
In 2000 Oscar was offered the opportunity
to be the head trainer for an Andalusian
farm in Ontario, Canada. While there
Oscar was in charge of starting the young
horses, showing the competition horses,
and teaching students. “It was a good job.
I love dressage but my true calling has
always been show jumping.”
In 2003 Oscar left the Andalusian farm
and went to work for a Canadian show
jumping stable. During his five year stint
with the operation Oscar wore many hats.
He was road manager, head groom, and
was also in charge of starting the young
stock. Eventually the show bug caught up
with Oscar. “There is a lot of security
working for someone else. But I realized
that some goals of mine could only be
accomplished by working for myself.”
The couple met in 2005 and were
married in 2007. From the beginning
there was talk of having their own stable.
“I have always been the type to work for
myself so the idea of running our own
barn was always the logical next step,”
explains Zoë. In 2008 Oscar left the
Canadian stable and went to work for an
American professional. After one year
there opportunity came knocking again.
“We were offered the opportunity to
work with a string of young show horse
prospects,” says Oscar. “The timing was
right and Santa Rosa Stables was born.”
Oscar and Zoë have a very clear mission
in their professional pursuits. “Whether it
is a horse or a student we want to offer
them an intimate atmosphere that is
conducive for learning and one that is also
fun,” Oscar explains. “We want our clients
to look forward to their lessons because
they know they are getting the full force
of our attention every time. Along with to
going to horseshows we organize fun
rides and barbeques so that all of the
clients interact and enjoy each other.”
Versatility is a cornerstone of their
business model. “We welcome everyone
to our barn. Some of our students are
weekend warriors, others are serious
competitors. But what they all have in
common is the desire to enjoy their
horses. We want to foster the fun while
helping them grow as horsemen.” Santa
Rosa Stables offers a array of services: full
training board, sales consignment, young
horse starting, lessons and lesson horses.
“We are a full service facility. One of
the advantages to being smaller is that we
can cater to each individual customer’s
specific needs. We like the boutique
410-804-5813 info@cfequestrian.com www.cfequestrian.com
atmosphere our unique situation allows,”
says Zoë.
In addition to training and riding, Oscar
and Zoë began K-59 Jump Co., -- a jump
manufacturing business-- in 2009. “It’s
been great for Oscar,” says Zoë. “It is so
much fun to see his creativity run wild.”
It is Oscar’s goal to offer a quality
product at an affordable price. This
business model has proved very
successful in the company’s first year.
“The business has grown beyond my
wildest imagination,” Oscar laughs. K59
Jump Co. offers a full line of jumps, boxes,
Grand Prix quality round rails, and many
other products. “You can get as crazy as
you want. If you can imagine it, we can
build it!”
The couple are equal partners in all
aspects of their business. From training
the horses and teaching lessons to
building jumps the Hernandez’s share
common goals for each other, their
clients, and their businesses. “We want
everyone to achieve success on their own
level. Each person measures success
differently but our goal is to meet our
clients where they are currently and help
them get where they want to go next. It is
the same approach we take to working
with each other,” says Oscar
“One of the advantages of working so
closely together is that we have made
ourselves interchangeable,” Zoë explains.
“We are both able to teach, to train, to
run the jump business. Our clients know
this and I think they enjoy having two
professionals available to them.”
“It’s always good to have two
perspectives on an idea,” Oscar adds. “I
think it benefits both the horses and the
students. Sometimes taking a slightly
different approach to a situation helps to
clarify or simplify a concept for a student
or a horse. We are looking forward to
growing Santa Rosa Stables. I think we
have a lot to contribute both personally
and professionally to Ocala and the
surrounding area.”

We made some progress in the past two
months, but for every forward hoofprint,
there are some sideways ones as well.
Gallop of the Greenway was very
challenging in that only 9 of 22 horses
completed the 100 mile endurance ride,
and I was not one of the 9. I retired my
horse after 85 miles because I was not
going to be able to get a Certificate of
Capability in the required time, choosing
to save him for another day. He was
sound, just tired of riding alone in the
dark, and very hungry. With FEI rules, no
crewing is allowed except at checkpoints,
thus my crew would have been unable to
provide any support on the last 15 miles.

How optimistic are you
about the future of the
horse industry?
140 people and climbing have participated
in our two-minute five-question survey
about the horse industry economy. The
results are revealing. So far most
participants think the national economy
has bottomed out but the recovery has
been minimal, that the horse industry has
been hit about as hard as any other
industry and that the horse industry
economy has yet to begin recovery.
