This year 236 riders, a record, took part in the 25th anniversary of the Cracker Trail Ride which commemorates the cross-state cattle drives from more than 100 years ago.
The leaders jump off near Bradenton and travel all the way to Fort Pierce.
Among the riders was Susie Hoshaw, an emergency room secretary at Blake Medical Center for 24 years, and a breast cancer survivor.
She was so determined to beat cancer and ride the Cracker Trail that she told her husband, “If God wants me, he will have to pull me from the saddle.”
