Equestrian
From a horse lover’s paradise and local institution for quality handmade tack to a world-renowned equestrian facility — Lake County is a delight for professional or novice equestrians. Enjoy a sedate ride through lakefront trails or an adventurous trek over a forest path. And be sure to stroll back in time to the horse-drawn era and experience more than 150 beautifully restored antique carriages from around the world at the Florida Carriage Museum and Resort.
