Florida Farm Vacation

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the maximum number of guests you can accomodate?
We can accomdate up to six riders and seven overnight guests.

What is the minimum and maximum age for a rider?
Age is not as important as size, maturity & any prior experience or training. We usually prefer beginners who are at least six (6) years old. There is no maximum age as long as the rider is physically fit enough to endure several hours in the saddle at a time. We are not able to accommodate disabled riders. Please call if you have any special circumstances.

Do you rent horses on an unguided basis?
Sorry. Our horses are not permitted on the trail without our guide and instructor.

Do you rent horses by the hour?
Sorry again. We are not set up for the occasional rider. We like to share our love of the forest and our horses and find that an hourly trail ride is too short a period of time to do either. We ride our horses; we don't just go for rides.

Do I need reservations to ride or stay at the farm?
Yes. Advance reservations are a must so we can insure availability and that your stay is enjoyable, the cabin is ready, the horses are rested & the equipment is properly prepared for your ride.

I have my own horse. Can I bring him to your farm?
Sorry, but for a variety of reasons, we do not allow outside horses on our farm.

How does your farm differ from a Dude Ranch

Lady Hawk Farm is not a dude ranch. We are a small family operated horse farm. We own our horses, we ride our horses and we accompany anyone riding our horses. We do not want to appear negative, but we do not offer cattle roping or other "City Slicker" activities. We do not make our guests work for us, while paying for the priviledge. We don't have wranglers who will sing songs around your campfire. We do provide an opportunity for each guest to enjoy spending time with horses and to ride to their potential. We do it at your own pace and with all the comforts of home. Our guests all leave with a better understanding of horses and as better riders.

Do you offer gift certificates?

We can prepare a gift certificate for any of the services we offer. We only cater to one group at a time. Unless you purchase a certificate for a specific date, it can only be redeemed on an "as available basis." Advance reservations are a must.

Do you accept credit cards for payment?
We accept all major credit cards through PAYPAL. You may make your payment online by clicking on the PAYPAL icons on the registration page or over the phone.
