PAINTED OAKS ACADEMY LLC
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Painted Oaks Academy LLC is a family-oriented equestrian boarding, training, and lesson facility located in East Orlando, Florida. Established on May 1, 2015, the academy offers world-class services for riders aged four years and above, with facilities that include professional-grade horseback riding lessons and boarding options. The academy’s unique appeal lies in its proximity to the Little Econ River, a preserved area, and several renowned horse-riding trails through Geneva, Oviedo, and Christmas areas. The business idea emerged when Lisa Ottersen was transitioning from her career as the owner of a commercial and residential cleaning company. David P. Ottersen, co-founder alongside his wife, leverages his background in real estate to manage the property's development. This includes innovative projects such as converting an old hay house into a multipurpose bunk house. Key strengths include professional equestrian training with Certified Horsemanship Association accreditation and staff experienced in horse care and riding instruction. The academy fosters community involvement, welcoming volunteers who enjoy interacting with horses during their visits. Future plans for Painted Oaks Academy involve converting the main residence into a business headquarters, expanding services to offer therapeutic riding programs targeting diverse groups such as women recovering from trauma, children facing substance challenges, and corporate clients seeking team-building activities. Under the guidance of managing partners David P. Ottersen and David Ottersen, the academy continues to serve its community while looking forward to new growth opportunities.
