A newly constructed, world-class facility, Next Level Performance Center was established in June 2020 with the intention of providing a top-notch establishment for athletes of the dressage and jumper disciplines.
The training and boarding facility provides a boutique environment to a select number of dressage and show jumping clientele with a luxury European experience. The team behind Next Level designed the state-of-the-art facility with the latest amenities for the everyday professional rider in mind.
The newly built facility is located in the horse-centric community of Davie, on the outskirts of Miami. This prominent location provides easy access to those flying in and out of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and is a short drive to Wellington. With many cutting-edge amenities, Next Level aims to provide services to clientele all over South Florida.
The founders of Next Level Performance Center chose the location due to the welcoming horse community in the western Broward County area, along with easy access to the airports, so clients can easily fly in to buy a horse or even just to ride. Its location between Wellington and Miami gives clients easy access to both the horse world and city life.
Next Level sets the bar high with its offering of premier care, boarding, rehab and training at the new facility, made up of 32 Roewer & Rueb stalls offered to top horses and competitive riders. All 32 stalls are spacious and fully equipped with cameras for 24-hour monitoring of every horse. Each stall also has Nelson automatic waterers to monitor each horse’s water consumption, while 16 of the stalls include a runout.
The facility was also built to accommodate stallions, providing them with special stalls and turnout. All 12 paddocks at the Davie location contain permanent concrete run-in sheds fully equipped with fans for the warmer summer days.
The indoor and outdoor arenas contain premier footing and an innovative underground drainage system specifically designed to withstand the six-month rainy season in South Florida.
With access to some of the world’s top international trainers, Next Level clients will have full access to unprecedented education and knowledge. In addition to an impressive lineup of talented in-house staff, Next Level Performance Center has partnered with renowned dressage trainer Austin Webster, and top Brazilian show jumper and World Equestrian Games rider Celso Luis Camargo Ariani, to provide its dressage and show jumping clientele with the best training opportunities.
Next Generation’s founders understand that show jumping is a huge industry all across the world, especially in the United States. They have also noticed that dressage is starting to take off like show jumping and decided to merge the two disciplines under one umbrella so that everyone’s needs are met in one place.
Offering an all-inclusive experience, Next Level Performance Center will house a private rehabilitation center that will offer multiple amenities, including hydrotherapy, electromagnetic therapy, a dry treadmill, and both indoor and outdoor walkers. The hydrotherapy includes a sea salt water spa and an AquaTred, which is an underwater treadmill renowned for its ability to rehabilitate and condition horses without additional stress being added to their joints.
Not only does the Next Level Performance Center offer on-site exercise and training equipment for clients and their mounts, the Davie facility is uniquely located just a five-minute ride away from renowned Vista View Park. Vista View Park has more than 70 miles of trails and rolling hills perfect for horses.
As one of the highest elevations in South Florida, Vista View Park is a highly sought-after destination for conditioning and training horses. This is known to help horses mentally, as they are able to get outside of the ring and enjoy the beautiful trails, which are very safe, offer a great view and have amazing footing.
The professionals at Next Level Performance Center also operate a world-class sales program featuring some of the top up-and-coming, young dressage and show jumping prospects in the United States. They are currently developing two top dressage prospects, Sonata MF, a 6-year-old mare by Sir Donnerhall out of EM Duet MF, and Dreamgirl, a 4-year-old mare by Dreamline out of EM Duet MF. They are also currently working with the talented up-and-coming show jumping prospect, Pacha Van Het Costersveld, a 7-year-old Zangersheide gelding by Casall out of Kornetta D’Heyboght.
The owners aim for Next Level Performance Center to be known for the highest standards of quality sportsmanship and are seeking clients who enjoy their discipline and want to take their riding to the “next level.”
