Bed and Breakfast 2
Trail riding in the south doesn't get any better than those moments when the sweet air of a southern forest fills your lungs and all your senses come alive. In the mountains you'll find lodges near swift running streams and cascading falls. In the cotton belt you'll find carefully preserved homes and peaceful field roads. If you take the time to visit historic sites like Georgia homesteads built before the Civil War or the Jefferson Davis' home in Montgomery, you won't regret it.
Equus Caballus, the magazine of the domestic horse, has been dedicated to the proper care and feeding of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules for over seven years. This site is a compilation of over 400 archived articles and new features about nutrition, health and equine management.
