Ah, the rolling hills of Florida… Now that’s something you don’t hear very often, huh? As someone from the north who’s getting ready to be relegated to an indoor for the next several months, heading down to Florida would be a real treat. Those that are lucky enough to be headed south soon are also lucky to have a place such as Mardanza Farm in Marion County to work on their horse’s fitness. Mardanza Farm’s grounds manager has been hard at work this summer making the footing the best it can possibly be and the gallop lanes are now open for the season!
