“The Big Question Part 1”

Trail Riding
Winter is the time to ride in East Central Florida!

In this article, I describe three of my favorite places to ride which are located east/northeast of Orlando.

10 Tips for Horse Riding When It’s Hot
During these hot summer months, it's easy to come up with any excuse to complain or grouch about not wanting to ride. Here in Texas it's not uncommon for summer to carry on all the way to late October.
