I love to ride and this is horse country, after all. Is there any interest in getting a group together and going on a trail ride? And, does anyone know where we could go to accomplish this? The weather is getting better, so, it might be a lot of fun.

I'm interested. I've been to one place here that was $50 each for a pretty nice ride, over an hour, in the woods. Let's see if anybody comes up with a great place.

It would seem there is enough interest in this kind of adventure. I'll contact some of the local stables and see what I can set up and get back to you.

I'm interested in horseback riding. I believe the SBB had this activity but I don't know who to ask. I'll research the net and let you know.

There's also Cactus Jacks up in Ocala. I've heard a lot of good reviews from people that rode there.

I'd like to join the group. Haven't rode a horse since age 32 but I guess this is what retirement is.

Kate and others:
I attended a fund raiser at "The Happy Horse Farm". It was well attended, with plenty of volunteer staff and a dozen or so horses. The area is clean and easy to get around. I asked about group rides. They can only accommodate five riders. They truck the horses to the Ocala Forest. The Blue Moon Ranch seems a more convenient location and more accommodating to groups.
I'm still interested and will go out in front and lead. (I don't believe in leading from behind). The only day to ride is Tuesdays. If the interest is still out there, I'll set a day.

I got cowboy boots in Italy.
I may be shallow, but my feet are in good leather.
Let's ride,

I am wondering if you ever went horseback riding? It sounds like fun. I would love to go if you go again.
Thanks!

I had hoped to head up a horseback ride for TOTV singles. However, I am temporarily laid up. I was going to contact Blue Moon Ranch in Wildwood 352 578 4947 bluemoonranchfl.com for specifics. I hope someone will volunteer to take the lead.

I might consider doing a lesson or a trail ride. I need to take a look at the farm first.

Sorry all. I had every intention of putting a trail ride together at the time I first posted this, but, a bout of pneumonia has had me sidelined for a while. Now happily recovered, I will do the research I promised and will post the options and we'll get a group together. In the meantime, anyone interested in going can send me a PM, so I'll be sure to let you know the details.

Village Neighbors did a nice write-up on Horseback Riding (http://www.Bluemoonranchfl.com) phone 352 578 4947. I like to join you but I'm laid up for a few more weeks.
Hope you can join the "chemistry" group."

Tom,
From the response I've gotten, I suspect we have more than 5 interested in going. I've got a call into Cactus Jacks - I'll see what they have to offer
