          Lisa, Can you please name the club you are talking about?  There are no less than 7 trail riding clubs in the state of Florida, all of which have been volunteering and lobbying for equestrian access for YEARS. Just for the record , most of the state forest allowed equestrian usage under permit.  Croom & Withlacootchee have been open to equestrians forever.
