Discover Florida Horse Country, Trails & Equestrian Centers By Julie Landry Laviolette and visitflorida.com When you dream of Florida, first thoughts often go to lovely beaches and swaying palm trees. But the Sunshine State has lots more to see -- and much of it can be explored by horseback. From the gentle slopes of secluded forests to swampy wetlands to picturesque river banks teeming with wildlife there are horse trails to help you explore. Truth is, Florida horse country has equestrian activities in every corner. If you love horses but being a spectator is more your thing, stop by a thoroughbred training farm international polo match or a championship rodeo. If you'd like someone else to take the reins, explore historic Florida through a horse-drawn carriage ride. And if you want a taste of quintessential Florida with an equine flair, saddle up and enjoy one of the lovely beaches with swaying palms trees by horseback. Now that's something you can't do every day. Search for Florida horseback riding sites in natural areas on The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's site or check out this trail riding directory put together by the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
