Location: Bonham, TX | I would think Ocalla, FL would be more flat terrain. This time of year is generally nice weather in FL, but Texas is experiencing a mild winter so far this year. In Texas, sort of close to Ft.Worth, you could try Cooper Lake State Park. There are actually 2 units on Cooper Lake so if you search Texas Parks & Wildlife website you can see which unit has the horse campground. It fills up very fast so reservations are usually needed. Not many miles of trails. There is a new campgroud in Mineola, TX run by the city. Haven't been there and not many miles of trails either. South of Ft. Worth is Lake Whitney and it has two places to ride and camp. Your best bet is search Horse and Mule Trail Guide website. Mary 3jmmules |

Location: Coconut Creek, FL | Several places in Fla you can camp near Ocala. most have websites. Goethe State forest is west of Ocala - North Star Acres, The Stables @ Goethe, TH Ranch (no trees) - all have electric/water, stalls, paddocks, showers, etc NStar you would ride the Apex and Tidewater Trails, the other 2 the Blackprong trails as there are 3 sections in this forest. Withlacoochie State Forest Citrus tract - Renab Ranch - electric/water, stalls, and lush pastures 7 Bar L Ranch near Live Oak - ride water management trails, electric/water/sewer - stalls, pastures, showers, etc Suwannee Music park - also near Live oak - eelc/water/sewer, stalls, same trails as 7 Bar L (I prefer 7 Bar L - they have pastures) McCulley Farms - near Jasper - elec/water, stalls, showers, ride the Twin River State Forest Golden Acres Foxtrotter Farm - elec/water, stalls, paddocks, also a real nice cabin you can rent. Ride the Greenway trails - only dfrawback is its near I75, so it can be noisy I would suggest trying several of them to get more variety in your riding. The terrain in Fla is flat, pine and oak trees, lots of wildlife - deer, pigs, turkeys, eagles, etc
