What better way to enjoy the cool temperatures of Florida this autumn than with a horseback riding adventure through beautiful nature trails? Florida has quite a few opportunities to saddle up and get outside into nature, but this one might take the cake. Gather up friends and family and make a day out of exploring some of the best parts of Florida nature by horse.
Wagon Wheel Horse Farm in Okeechobee, Florida grew out of one family’s love for horses that branched out in order to be shared with others.
Your trail guide will be very knowledgeable about the area, as well as about the horses you’ll be riding, so that you can feel more comfortable especially if it’s your first time.
The age limit to ride a horse for most trail rides with Wagon Wheel Horse Farm is eight years old, as it is recommended a child has enough strength to maintain control of the reigns.
With at least a full hour of trail riding to enjoy, this slow paced journey through Florida nature will be an entirely different horseback riding experience.
Who’s ready to saddle up?! The address for Wagon Wheel Horse Farms is 1225 NE 42nd Terrace, Okeechobee, FL 34972. Guests can book tours every day from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. To find open tour time slots and to reserve a trail ride, visit the website or Facebook Page.
Meanwhile, after a horse trail ride you might work up an appetite, which means this 14,000-square foot food hall a few towns over might be just the ticket.
