Does anyone know how many horses a barn can keep near Okeechobee and North Road? With the motorcycle accident this week, we’re wondering how safe it is to ride near there—thinking about finding a trainer farther west.

I've ridden near Okeechobee and North Road, and it’s quite busy—perhaps not ideal for hacking. Have you looked at barns out in Loxahatchee Groves? Several trainers there work off quiet lanes, rather good for riding out.

I’d suggest asking the Village for regulations on horse density—they’re quite specific. North Road does get traffic, but Pierson Road barns may suit you if you’re worried. Shall I recommend a few trainers?
