Ocala and Marion County, Florida

As the “Horse Capital of the World,” Ocala—A Way of Life takes you on an intimate tour into the rarefied air of the world-renowned Thoroughbred industry. Most residents and visitors to Ocala/Marion County see these stunning animals only from afar, but our photographers were given unprecedented access into the stables, foaling barns, training facilities and even veterinarians at work to bring to life the region’s most famous industry. A Way of Life also provides intimate peeks into the beautiful Quarter Horse, Paso Fino and other farms that grace the rolling hills of Marion County.

Of course, there is more to living here than its famous horses. Whether bicycling down the Spanish Moss lined boulevards of the Fort King Historic District, having mid-afternoon tea on the front port of the Veranda, enjoying the Symphony Under The Stars, or relaxing on the historic town square, this book reveals the great joys of living in Ocala/Marion County.
