Horses in Florida


We live in a city that has the distinction of being 'The Horse Capitol of the World'. An article online HERE

And whenever we are out and about we see big horse farms and lots of beautiful horses.



I don't ride horses but I'm glad the horse trails have opened for those around here that do.


This was painted on the side of a horse trailer.



And I know they are happy to have places to park their horse trailers and unload the horses.


When we hike the Florida State Parks and forests, the horses have designated trails so that makes it nice for the hikers too. At the Shangri-La trailhead hikers, bikes and horses all have separate trails.

I thought this Jeep looked neat at the trailhead.

  
My youngest son knows how much I love the stickers and signs on vehicles so he took this photo for me! 

Do you ride horses? I wish I had learned when I was younger but I don't think I could manage it now. 


It may be hard to tell in this photo but this was the widest horse I've ever seen! 


I'm joining Angie for Mosaic Monday HERE . 

I'm linking with All Seasons at the Jesh Studio too!

The Trail to Shangri-La!


Yes, it really is a trail that we hike!


Hike #32 to Shangri-La!


It's wooded and quiet and peaceful.


And even when we don't see much....


we have a good walk and enjoy what nature has to offer.


It's always a plus when we see wildlife.


This deer was very close when we looked to the side of the trail. And as you can see by my banner, he ran across the trail in front of us!


Always a new trail to discover!


And beauty along the way!

I'm thankful for the forests here in Florida! What are you thankful for today?
