Horseback riding near Orlando, FL

I was wondering if anyone knows of any relatively inexpensive (I am a broke college student) places near Orlando, FL to go horsebackriding. I have been riding many times in my life but my boyfriend has never been on a horse. I want to give him an experience that will show him how wonderful horses are. I want him to experience the same fun and joy that make me love riding. If anyone has any info, please let me know.

Well, you could check out some places on the internet. But I will warn you, most guys never take an interest in horses. I don't know why, but it's true, for most guys.

yeah I know its strange, like at my riding school, probably out of all people riding there, most of them are women and girls, only couple guys. I guess guys just see horse related things to be too girly, instead most of them see big smelly farm animals. I dont know how others see it, but I think horses are the most amazing and precious creatures on this planet, they have beautiful soul and noble spirit, I absolutely love them...
I had my riding lesson yesterday, and I rode this new horse, it was sooo awesome!!! I love riding soo much! afterwards we went for a short bareback ride, I looked around, and thought, wow, I'm riding a great horse, there are farm surroundings everywhere, it smell like fresh hay and manure, man, this must be heaven! I wish I could live on that farm all my life

Yes, it is strange that most guys don't like to ride. I have no boys that I give lessons to at my stables, and I also ride with a pro dressage instructor, and she doesn't have any boys/guys that ride there either. I'm not saying that guys don't like horses, because I've met/dated a lot that do, but for some weird reason, they just don't like riding and don't ride. Too wierd......

The only reason my husband won't ride is that he's too scared of them.

When he takes me riding he stays either in the car or 5ft away from the horses.

I asked him why he's scared of them and he replied "there big, have huge teeth and hooves"

MoonGoddess:

I recently picked up a coupon book on Orlando and it had something called HorseWorld Stables.

Here's the website:

http://horseworldstables.com/

I was thinking of going there next time I'm in Orlando (I live in Tallahassee). They have a prices list for you to get an idea of how much its going to cost. It isnt cheap.

Scroll to Orlando in this list and it'll tell you alot of Riding Stables in Orlando and the Kissimmee area.
