As fall settles over Marion County, Horse Farms Forever is reflecting on the season just past with deep gratitude. This summer, from June through September, new and renewing Founders stepped forward to strengthen our mission: to protect the Farmland Preservation Area and the rural character of our community for generations to come.
Founders are not only supporters, they are visionaries. Their leadership ensures that the open spaces, scenic views, and equestrian heritage of Marion County remain a permanent part of our landscape. By joining—or renewing—as a Founder, these individuals, families, farms, and organizations are helping to preserve the land, legacy, and lifestyle that make horse country so extraordinary.
We invite you to celebrate these new and renewing Founders whose commitment carries us into the fall with renewed purpose.
Philip & Carolina Levine
Philip and Carolina Levine founded PL Ranch in Ocala as both a retreat and a commitment to preserving Florida’s rural character. Drawn by Marion County’s beauty and equestrian heritage, they see Ocala as a rare place worth protecting and are dedicated to being thoughtful stewards of the land.
Phyllis & Pat Harlow
As we enter this new season, Horse Farms Forever remains steadfast in our mission—and it’s because of Founders like these that we can continue to grow, advocate, and protect the farmland that sustains both our horses and our way of life.
To our newest Founders: welcome. To our renewing Founders: thank you for your lasting dedication. Your support is the foundation of everything we do.
Together, we are ensuring that Marion County’s horse country will be forever preserved.
