Just Horse'n Around operates guided horseback rides and riding lessons on extensive old‑Florida landscapes. The business provides a range of equestrian experiences including a One Hour Guided Trail Ride across a 9,000‑acre wildlife preserve, a One And A Half Hour Guided Trail Ride and a Two Hour Guided Trail Ride through approximately 9,954 acres of oak hammocks, pastures, scrub forests, and wetlands, and individualized Riding Lesson sessions.
