At first glance, Duclay may seem like a secluded community on Jacksonville's westside. In this area, private farms and horse stables are woven between pockets of subdivisions. Ron and Janel Williams, Realtors with Watson Realty Corp., say it's typical to see someone riding down the road on horseback in this part of the city. "That's a common characteristic here. Very West Jax," says Ron Williams. However, the area is surrounded by active roadways such as Interstate 295 and the commercial route Blanding Boulevard. The eastern side of the community, called Duclay Forest, contains more greenery. Just beyond the neighborhood is the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, a major employer for the city.
Y Knot Equestrian offers summer horse camp, where you can learn proper equine care and riding.
Windemere Equestrian Center is where you can take private riding lessons.
