The Drive will be from December 4 – 10th.  The Drive will cover Old Florida-style land in central Florida, including Deseret Ranch, which is the largest ranch in Florida.  Also, we will traverse the beautiful Kempfer Ranch in Deer Park.

Our starting point will be at the Kirchman Foundation’s Lake X Ranch near St. Cloud and the Drive will end at the Silver Spurs Practice Arena in Kenansville.  The Drive is not visible from roads, so there will be no spectators of the actual drive (spectators are invited to join as at the Trail’s End Frolic though to see the “Cows come home”).

A truly memorable experience of Old Florida and the Cow Culture ways.  This will be a historic event as we drive 1000 head of Cracker style cattle through scenic central Florida cattle country.  We will be on the trail for 6-7 days and will end with a big Trail’s End Celebration Frolic.

Participants will divided into “Circles”,  each managed by a Circle Boss and assistants.  You will ride with your circle, and will have the opportunity for your circle to help the Cow Hunters push the herd on specific days.

Each day we will ride and drive the herd around 10-15 miles, so expect to spend most all day riding – rain or shine.

Your meals will be provided and your gear moved for you to each night’s camp.  Grain, hay and water will provided for the horses.  You will be primitive camping each night.

Each evening there will be family fun entertainment – Cracker storytellers, cowboy poetry, music, and a favorite, Seminole night, where members from the tribe will come share their culture with us.
