Horseback riding trip.
 
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.

Katie, I love to ride also. I am an average rider so I need very broke horses. If you get a group together and find a place please let me know! And if I here of anything I'll let you know!! Sounds like fun!

kittygilchrist 10-08-2013 11:25 PM

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.

Your link seems to lead to a software company

This is the way I like to ride horseback.

Sounds like a pretty site and count me in!

katerogers 10-10-2013 09:58 AM

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.

the Happy Horse Farm is owned a run by our local dj patrick who rescues horses...contact Kathie I for further info....he is a non-profit organization and really loves his horses!

Kate:

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.

OK, now I know I must find a way to get down there!!! Love to ride...esp a smooth gaited horse!!!!!

Doctommft 11-04-2013 05:04 PM

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.

Anyone into dressage ?? I am hoping to find someone with English riding experience to ride with.

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

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

Thanks!

Katie and others:
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.

LianaB 01-02-2014 10:49 PM

I might be interested; add me to the list, too.

KathieI 01-03-2014 12:30 AM

Thanks but no thanks.. I love horses, but they don't like me... LOL.

shcisamax 01-03-2014 07:20 AM

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

katerogers 01-10-2014 08:31 PM

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.

Katie

Doctommft 01-10-2014 10:46 PM

Katie:

Village Neighbors did a nice write-up on Horseback Riding 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

Katie

Daisy 01-11-2014 07:37 PM

If you have room for another rider, I would be interested. I am an experienced rider.
