My New Home in Florida!

[leeapachemoon]

We just got back from a week in Ocala FL, looking at properties. We found a home in Citra, FL. We are so excited and will be down there by May! Here are some pictures.

 

And this is my new nieghbor! She lives behind the new house.

I'm so jealous! hubby and I were just talking about relocating down to that area as they have shows year round. Only problem is we would need to hit the lottery to relocate. I love your new neighbor she is too cool! Have fun redecorating your new home. Good Luck on your move.

Oh wow l'd give just about anything to have your neighbor beside me..lucky lucky and they spit real good..

 

[Sterling]

Good luck to you....I'm sure you won't be missing the winter snows we've been getting here.

 

[Jill]

Good luck with your move!!! Your new neighbor is so cool!!!

 

[leeapachemoon]

Thanks everyone! We are very excited and scared. I am definitely looking forward to all the shows!

Very cool! and I love your new neighbor. I'm a huge giraffe fan. I don't know if it's the angle of the photo... but that leg to fence ratio looks like he/she could just walk over that fence.

Looking forward to meeting you. Since you're moving down here in May, you'll be here for what looks to be a big "R" & "A" show weekend in Ocala. There will be a show down here in Sarasota in May.

Welcome!!!

You are correct. The interior fence was only 4-5' so she could walk around the whole farm but there is a fence around the farm that is 8-10' so she can't leave the property.

I would be happy to met some new horse friends. The realtor is a horse person so at least I feel like I know somebody down there. Too bad I will miss the Chester Weber, Live Oaks show. I hear it is amazing to watch!

Congrats! I love your new neighbor. We use to live in Fort Pierce on the east coast.

Congrats! Your neighbor is the coolest ever! Do they have other exotic animals?

I could use a couple months in Florida, I'm sick of snow and cold.

They also have camel and zebra. No big cats! I was a little afraid that they might. They trained the zebra for the movie 'Racing Stripes'.

That is awesome! Looking forward to more Mini people in the area!

Congrats

Looks like you picked the perfect spot

Not only a home in Florida that's "mini friendly" but a giraffe over the fence, too! How cool is that?

We own a home in Ormand Beach, FL, on the ocean, but I usually go down there by myself and have friends come or meet me because my husband refuses to fly. And it actually works out OK because then I don't have to hire someone to take care of the horses, as he does it!

I was told that is the closest beach to us but it is still a hour and a half away.

Yep, if you live inland, there are no beaches close by...lol I had to come to terms with this when I first moved here (I live about a half hour from the closest beach) 7 mo. ago. I guess the good thing is, when it is hurricane season your chances of getting hit (other than by rain/some wind) drops a lot!

We got direct hits by 3 hurricanes in one month years ago

I'm not a big beach person anyway. I would be just as happy swimming in a lake but I am REALLY afraid of alligators! We live only 30 minutes from the ocean here in NJ but we never go anyway. I would rather not have to deal with hurricanes so I'll stay in-land.

Ocala is beautiful horse country and I can't think of a better place to be!
