Ocala Horse Alliance

Ocala often calls itself the ‘Horse Capital of the World’. Given the size, diversity, scope of equine activities and the unique representation of a spectrum of breeds and disciplines, Ocala clearly has rights to the title. Now there is a unifying entity to harness the collective power of this diverse industry to help grow, educate, unify and promote the horse industry in Marion County.

The Ocala Horse Alliance (OHA) is the organization that will champion this effort. After conducting a market condition analysis, the Leadership Group was formed to begin to address a unifying, growth and advocacy impact effort for the equine industry. The Ocala Hose Alliance Leadership Group is comprised of key stakeholders from various sections of the horse industry including breeders, trainers, trail riders, discipline representatives, manufacturers, feed companies, therapeutic riding, horse rescue, elected officials and numerous other groups representing the diversity of the horse industry in Marion County.

Ocala Horse Alliance has a five-year strategic plan designed to unify, promote, educate and grow the horse industry in Ocala.

The Black Stallion® Reading Project, a cooperative effort between the Ocala Horse Alliance and Marion County Public Schools. During the five-year program, each participating fourth grader will receive a copy of The Black Stallion and the opportunity to experience a horse up-close and personal.  For some, this will be their first encounter; for others, this could be their only encounter.
