We're no longer breeding thoroughbreds, but we still have a QH mare and a mini. Have you got your sights set on any particular property yet? I can tell you that there are many farms for sale right now, but property values are beginning to come back a little, so I might not wait too long if I were you.

lol
it's a joke, we've always called fla gods waiting room. and it's interesting that north florida is 'southern' while south florida is 'northern' in attitude.

joking aside, that's a beautiful area. and i can understand moving there instead of staying in maryland, where i used to live. the cost of living up there has only gotten higher and higher as time goes by, and that's why my folks moved. they didn't go quite so far south, they're in south central nc. weather is great, expenses are LOW.

good luck, trackrat, whereever you decide to move.
