Take a break from your fast-paced life and experience the cow culture ways. During this week-long event, you'll help drive 1,000 head of Cracker-style cattle through scenic central Florida cattle country. Each day you'll ride and drive the herd around 10 to 15 miles, so get ready for a week full of riding. At the end, you'll be met with a trail's end celebration frolic to celebrate another successful cattle drive (greatfloridacattledrive.com).

Participants will be divided into "circles" that are managed by a circle boss and assistants. You'll ride with your circle and might even be able to help the cow hunters push the herd on specific days. Your meals will be provided, and your gear moved for you to each night's camp. Grain, hay, and water will also be provided for your horse as well.
