Horses, Ocala Horse Farms, and A Cheeseburger at Horse & Hounds.

Ocala horsesHorses, Ocala horse farms, and a cheeseburger at Horse & Hounds Restaurant (off of Hwy 27) in late September … not much different than in late August, except (maybe) for the round bales of hay. Some of the mares are looking a little heavier too!

The video of my drive to Horse & Hounds for lunch (below) may make you hungry. If you enjoy videos and looking around Ocala, here are more videos on my video page. Don’t forget there is a Horse Festival here in Ocala next weekend (October 2 and 3) at the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion.

Horse farms, mares and foals, and an imposter in the mix made for a great morning drive through more beautiful horse country in Ocala yesterday… this time in West Ocala. The pastures were lush and green (and wet). One of the pleasures of taking pictures early in the morning!

Enjoy this short West Ocala horse farm country video and see the ‘imposter!’  (Here are pictures of the imposter.)

Friendly Mare Knee Deep in Grass Out in West Ocala Horse Farm Country.

This friendly mare’s mouth was wet from dew on the grass, her face was brushed with sand… and she was beautiful in the early morning sun yesterday out in west Ocala’s beautiful horse farm country.
