Default 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'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.

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.

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