Tennessee info wanted (rental, homes, schools)

[paintedhorses]

Hi all,

I'm in New Hampshire and I am considering relocating. Can you give me information on where is the best place to live. I like rural, and I have horses. Is it possible to find a rental with 2 horses. Schools are also important to me. Is there alot of farm/ranch work? Are the summers really hot, if yes how hot? Do you have a lot of bugs, as in mosquitos, black flies? I noticed that most homes have town water, do you all have dug/artesian wells? I've noticed in RE ads that there seems to be a lot of rivers/creeks. It looks like a beautiful place to live and any info you can give me for rental contacts would be great. I would like to try it for a year before I would commit.

Thanks

You might have better luck with the horse rental in middle TN than east as it is more "horse country". As for the bugs....name a place in the world that doesn't have bugs? Summers are considered mild compared to FL, TX and most Western states.
Maybe someone over in Middle TN can answer the rest?????
