Where in Kentucky to move w/ horses? (not racehorses)?

Question

I'm looking to move from built-up Maryland to somewhere very rural & scenic, and Kentucky seems to have some nice areas. Where would you recommend?

So far Danville and Houstonville seem nice & have affordable land. Casey Creek area looks even cheaper. Any comments? Anywhere else I should be looking?

How is the property tax situation?

I want a farm because I have horses (NOT racehorses, no interest in being near their farms). I want friendly & neighborly, but not drunk rednecks shooting at everything that moves. I don't mind middle-of-nowhere. I do mind anything resembling the movie Deliverance... scary!

And are there equestrian magazines/newsletters for Kentucky (that are NOT about racing or TB/STB racing farms)?

Thanks in advance!

thanks for answers so far

please.. anyone else have any advice?
