Fun Miami Day Trips: Horseback riding at Bar-B-Ranch in Davie - Miami Beach 411.com
Written by South Florida Parents - Visit Me“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
Winston Churchill was on to something when he penned those lines so long ago. There’s nothing as soothing to the soul as the relaxingly rhythmic plodding of a horseback ride in the country. Most visitors to the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area—and residents alike—busy themselves so much with sunning, swimming, sailing and clubbing, they never dream that the best of the west is only a hoofbeat away—in Davie.
With its weekly rodeos, cowpoke personality, and sprawling palm nurseries, offbeat Davie makes a quirky contrast to the urban sophistication of the surrounding area, a fading reminder of a simpler South Florida of not so long ago. And, when in Davie, there’s no better way to experience its leisurely pleasures than riding high in the saddle at the Bar-B-Ranch (3500 Peaceful Ridge Rd., (954) 424-1060).
