Ocala or Dallas-which is best for horses?

2324 Views 11 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  starlinestables
We re moving from the Northeast (finally!:) and have the option of either the Dallas area, or southern Ocala (North Orlando). I have 10 horses (mostly youngsters)-we want at least 10 acres (preferably mostly pasture), a horse friendly climate (little to no snow), reasonable real estate (under 500k for 10+ acres 2000sf+ house).
We would like an area that is horse friendly. I have ridden dressage, hunter, western-but mainly raise train youngsters now. We also love to trail ride.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I live in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area and its great for horses... we have both english and western farms here and is probably more affordable than Ocala. Land and houses are cheaper here.. more for your money definitely. Although it's snowed 3 or 4 times this years for a total of like25-30 inches its record breaking and not normal.. Its usually 60's in January.

Hay is also something that would be much more affordable here. During hay season the average 60lb square is $5... I've heard Florida is more expensive for horse care. Farriers and Vets are plentiful!
