Welcome to the Florida Nature Coast and Lady Hawk
Farm!
We are first and foremost about making your stay a wonderful & memorable experience.
We love to roam the forest trails and share our love of horses and riding with those experienced or inexperienced. We
thrive on nature and viewing it from the back of a horse is the best vantage point. Our farm is immediately adjacent
to over 45,000 acres of prime, hilly, wooded horse trails. Deer, rabbit,
turkey, tortoise, innumerable birds, and other species, are abundant. We do not have to transport
our guests to the trails, our gate opens directly into the forest.
We are in the heart of
Florida's Nature Coast. Aside from the Gulf of Mexico Beaches, we have within minutes
of our door, hiking, bird watching, canoing, kayaking ,swimming and scuba diving opportunities. At Chassahowitzka
River, Crystal River and the Homosassa Rivers there are concessions to rent pontoon boats and/or canoes.
Manatee sightings are quite common, as are Ospreys, Pelicans, and a large assortment of wading birds, such
as snowy egrets and great blue herons. Fishing both salt and fresh water is available.
Charters are available. We will arrange the riding schedule to accommodate your plans to visit these other sites.
After all, it's your vacation.
We have the location for a very special Florida equestrian vacation.
Florida is more than you thought. If you want an equestrian adventure when it's too cold everywhere else, this is
the place for you. During our peak season mornings are cool (50 degrees) while the days are warm
and comfortable (70+ degrees).
We can provide you with a unique and private experience.
We have a very comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin. It has a fully functional kitchen, outdoor gas grill
as well as a charcoal grill, central heat and air conditioning, a washer and dryer, satellite TV and a 5 person
massage Jaccuzzi. You will not have to share facilities with any other guests. Your group will be the
only guests present. You will be just feet from the Withlacoochee State Forest where you may see
deer from the porch and hear the howling of coyotes in the distance.
The Nature Coast of Florida in truly
unlike the Florida you may know. This is not Miami. The only glitter you'll see out here at night will be
millions of stars. The rolling hills, dense pristine forest, the diversity of animal life and crystal clear
rivers make this area a nature lover's dream come true.
Within 75 minutes to the east you can be in Orlando,
Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. Go south 60 minutes and you are in Tampa, with Busch
Gardens, Ybor City, Buccaneer Football, and Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey and the Dali Museum, Lowery Park Zoo and much
more. Another 20 minutes and you are in St. Petersburg/Clearwater with over 20 miles of beautiful Gulf Beaches
and resorts. Orlando and Tampa both offer International Airports with direct service to most US and European
cities.
