Stable Place

Location: Davie, Florida, United States

Stable Place is a nonprofit equine-assisted mental health program in Davie, Florida. It provides equine-assisted clinical services for individuals, couples, and groups, with a model centered on psychotherapy, relationship-building, and emotional growth through structured work with horses. Current public materials identify the program in Davie and highlight three core areas of work: clinical services, education, and research.

Its services fit a mental health and clinical model rather than a stand-alone therapeutic riding center. Stable Place describes its work as equine-assisted therapy, and outside coverage has connected the program with group therapy for children in foster care focused on boundaries, trust, conflict resolution, anger management, and personal safety. Community listings note sliding-scale fees, which suggests a counseling-oriented service structure rather than a traditional lesson barn format.

Stable Place operates in Davie and is currently listed at 4141 SW 76th Avenue. The organization is led by Valerie Bruce Judd, identified in professional materials as executive director and co-founder, and as a PATH-certified Equine Specialist.
