You can't beat the area around Big South Fork for variety and amount
of trails, as well as property prices.  HOWEVER if you need to find
work, jobs are in short supply here....that's the biggest con - the
second biggest con is dealing with area "horse trainers" - I do all my
own work with my horses, but if you need help, good trainers with a
solid background in horsemanship are few and far between. I'd say
nonexistant, darn near. Same with farriers and vets - they're here,
but hard to find.

The trails are wonderful though, you have a variety of places and
difficulty levels to choose from, and hundreds of miles to cover. And
property prices can't be beat, so long as you don't get railroaded by
one of the real estate developers into the specialized "equestrian
subdivision".

Be careful you don't get hooked on gaited horses, though. I swore I'd
never ride one of those "horses with training wheels" when I got here,
and now that's all I ride!

I've searched where people live, but want to hear the pros and cons from the experts already living there, and suggestions on property investments if possible. Thanks, Randi in florida
