Imagine Riding Bomb-Proof Retired Polo Ponies through Some of Florida's Most Pristine Preserves.
Introducing an exciting new opportunity to experience on horseback the Florida Horse Park and the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway: Cactus Jack's Trail Rides. Whether you are an old hand or never been in the saddle, these guided tours allow you to ride a retired Thoroughbred polo pony (when does that ever happen?) from the Park to the famous I-75 Landbridge on the Greenway trails. The two-hour round trip on bomb-proof horses and comfortable western saddles is mostly in the shade, through ancient Oak Hammocks and Florida scrub to the amazing, landscaped bridge.
"Everybody loves to wave at the semis," say Craig Creamer, aka Cactus Jack and the tour's organizer. "It's a fun, safe, and affordable way to spend an afternoon with your family in nature. Doesn't get any better than that."
Other tours are available and you are welcome to bring your own horses. For more information and reservations, call Craig at 352.978.7656 or www.thefloridapoloclub.com.
