The Citrus County Florida area is still largely undeveloped, characterized by wide open rolling hills and pastures, sprinkled with ancient oak trees and blanketed with lush grazing grass. The eastern side of Citrus County is especially suited for horse farms and horse ranches.

From Pine Ridge Estates in Beverly Hills to Lecanto Florida and Inverness Florida and onto Floral City there are many horse farms and horse ranches laid out like quilt work across the countryside. The nearby Withlacoochee State Forest also has miles of beautiful trails, easily accessible by horse trailer.

Pine Ridge Estates was designed as an equestrian community with over 28 miles of horseback riding trails throughout the community. The lots range from 1 acre to 20 acres. Most homeowners that keep horses here only stable a few.

Lecanto and Inverness support larger private tracks of land ranging up to hundreds of acres for horse farms and horse ranches supporting scores of thoroughbreds. Many of these large tracks of acreage are available for sale today.

In the 1950's, a horse bred at that farm named “Needles” became the first triple crown winner ever from Florida.

This win and the critical acclaim that followed it allowed the credibility of local horse farms to grow, and more horse farms such as the famous Ocala Stud were established.

Ocala Stud quickly became the nations leading commercial horse breeding farm. This area is now considered the equestrian capitol of the United States and has over 1,200 horse farms.
