Ocala Jockey Club
3
With its hundreds of horse farms and thousands
of horses of various breeds and sizes,
Ocala has earned its “Horse Capital of the
World” name. It’s no wonder what the attraction
is to all things horses. The winter weather is
mild, the water is full of bone-building minerals,
there are plenty of horse experts to go around,
the grass is green, and there are hundreds of
acres of it.
For all the horses in town year-round or the
winter season, Ocala is still building its reputation
as a world class destination location for
horse events to rival other destinations such as
Lexington or Wellington. The $100,000 Ocala
Jockey Club International 3-Day Event is at
work to add to Ocala’s arsenal of must-watch
events on the equestrian fan’s calendar.
