Yes there should be at least nursing care or transport, but if you expect neighbors to come over to help, don't hold your breath.

Having lived in many different neighborhoods, I find that the older the neighbors are, the less likely they are to help. It is for this reason I prefer mixed-aged neighborhoods. The children can be so wonderful!

I will check it out. Thanks for your help a lot. The one lady pointed out Heritage Pines Country Club. Looks amazing there, too.

Smoking and pets is one reason I cannot do condo or townhouse....need some distance from neighbor and definitely not all the building...like a condo or townhouse /twin, that smokes finds its way all through the air cracks and attics, etc into all units esp if below makes its way up.

Maybe because he is too old to be Robin?

I think the squares themselves are no smoking. At least that is the announcement before each show. I can’t say I’ve seen any smoking on the squares and I go quite often. Smoking is allowed on the patios of the restaurants, but again, I rarely am sat near someone who smokes. I think the number of smokers here is fairly small.

If Champion reads this he will link us to that info. He is always as up on things as possible and never interjects gossip or rumors.
The general area is fine for horses. I know Ocola is really big for it, but as long as I can get to a stable within about 30 miles is fine. There seem to be plenty. I see TV has polo and offers lessons. That would be cool

Our neighbors, who are snowbirds from Canada, sometimes bring some of their horses with them. I don't know where they stabled them but it wasn't too far away and they were very happy with the facilities.

Thanks, mostly everybody has been really helpful. I've always heard about TV and it was wondered about what type of place it really is. Thanks, again.
