Horse Capital of the World®

Why Here?

Have you ever wondered why Ocala is called the Horse Capital of the World®?

Why here, of all places?

Watch for the answers…in the words of some of our prominent owners and trainers.

That title is deserved, and the unique qualities of this special place need to be preserved for future generations. Once erased, it can’t be replaced.

Please, share this video far and wide. Respect and protect our open spaces and beautiful places.

Save it. Don't Pave it.

Join with us as we raise up the Farmland Preservation Area of Marion County as worthy of protection. It makes conservation sense and business sense. The forces of unrestrained development are strong. Your support helps us to speak out on your behalf and act as a force for sensible, planned growth that protects our farms and farmland.
