Ocala, Florida, markets itself as the horse capitol of Florida. In the midst of the multitude of horse farms is the Florida Horse Park. It is unclear the relationship to the State and I don't have enough interest or any reason to find out. Yet it appears to be an ongoing development and what isn't beautiful on a 70 degree day with a perfectly blue sky?
On Wednesday the horsey people are there instructing and letting "relatively" young people ride the competition show jumping course. This is not to suggest these were novice riders. All seemed extremely capable and very serious about their art. Yet, if you are attempting to make a 1500 pound beastie do what you want you had best be serious.
Special note for those who look closely at the photos. Yes, it is the same young woman riding different horses.
