Perhaps you’ve seen the Ocala Stud painted sign? Maybe you’ve posed for a picture next to it?
Learn all about the oldest active Thoroughbred operation in Florida in the latest issue of Ocala Style Magazine.
The O’Farrell family have run Ocala Stud since March of 1956. Mike O’Farrell, Jr., became head of operations at the age of 22, after his father’s heart attack. He was one month shy of finishing college.
Ocala Stud has been FTBOA Breeder of the Year most recently in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2018.
We thank the O’Farrells for their charter membership in Horse Farms Forever and what it says about their commitment to the Farmland Preservation Area.
