Do you have a passion for horses and nature? Did you use to ride but don't get the opportunity anymore?

Would you like to make time in your schedule on a monthly basis to get back in the saddle and soak up some beautiful Florida landscape?

We have designed the Hidden Palms Ranch Monthly Riders Club with you in mind!

We are opening the club to a limited number of people who will have the opportunity to join one of our group rides at least once a month at a discounted rate.

If this sounds like the club for you...message us for more details!

Did you know..

Horses sleep standing up by locking their joints, but only experience REM (Rapid Eye-Movement) deep sleep when lying down, requiring total relaxation of the muscles to enter this stage.

Horses sleep for averagely 3 hours a day, with 30 minutes of those being REM. Those horses that don't get their required REM sleep suffer from sleep deprivation which effects cognitive function, health and performance.

A horse that lies down will only do so in an environment in which they feel safe and secure, with sleep patterns varying on management. It is a very vulnerable position for a prey animal to be in, and one reason I don't like to halter a horse when lying down; if they have trusted me to approach and interact at their most vulnerable time, taking advantage of that isn't something I would morally want to do.

REM sleep is the stage of sleep needed to dream; I do wonder what horses dream of?
