Horseback Riding, Trail Rides and Riding Stables - there's plenty of room in Florida for equestrians to enjoy the great outdoors from their very special vantage point.Florida has always been horse country. When Ponce de Leon visited Florida about five hundred years ago, he brought along cattle, horses and livestock. Over time, herds escaped here and there, and horses became a common site around the region. By the mid-1600's these hardy, adaptable Spanish horses had a well established hoof-hold in the region, being used by the Indians and pioneers alike as basic transportation, cow ponies, farm horses and later on, buggy horses. Named Cracker Horses after the Cracker people of old, who cracked their whips over the herds of the Spanish cattle, this unique breed has been perpetuated by Florida ranchers well into this century, as they possess excellent herding instincts and quickness as cow ponies.
