Re: [RC] Utah and other mountain states - Chris PausGosh, does it have to be a mountain state??? My parents grew up in Utah and ended up settling in Kansas. Yes, we have no mountains here, but the air is clean, property prices quite reasonable, and an abundance of places to ride. You'd be surprised how many Californians move here! In the eastern third of the state, we have lots of trees, hills, interesting terrain. Within an hours' drive of where I live there are a half dozen state or county parks with lakes and equestrian trails. We have MOTDRA, NATRC and AERC rides close by. I can do a couple of distance rides a month almost year round if I want to and not have to drive very far. One other thing that keeps me here is great equine vets. I'm so pleased with the level of vet service here. Yes, it gets hot and humid in the summer, but I usually can ride in most of the winter. When we get a bad weather spell it doesn't usually last too long. We can see the stars in the sky, hear coyotes yip, and rarely hear emergency sirens yet are close enough to cities for services and the occasional city fix. chris --- Ridecamp Guest <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Please Reply to: Martha Carpenter martha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I would like to hear from any riders/horse people in Utah (or any other states outside of CA) about their experiences. We live in California and are looking for a place to relocate where we can hopefully have horse property; this would be a retirement move so we have lots of flexibility. The goal is to find someplace where the cost of living (i.e. the cost of owning multiple horses) is much lower than in the Bay Area, that has a lot of natural beauty, clean air and water, fewer people and good access to trail riding and hopefully a good horse community.
