Ocala’s Live Oak Stud Horse Farm Posed Beautifully for Pictures This Morning.

Another beautiful way to start the day in Ocala’s horse farm country, taking pictures of live oaks and Thoroughbred’s on Ocala’s Live Oak Stud horse farm early Sunday morning.

Live Oak Stud, as well as Double Diamond Farm, are located in the York area of Ocala off of 40, and are just two of the many horse farms and many breeds of horses that call Ocala home.

So, too, does the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association.

Florida Realtors 2010 Convention and Trade Expo in Orlando Kept Me Away from the OBS Sale in Ocala.

It was my honor to be part of the Social Media Panel at the Florida Realtors 2010 Convention and Trade Expo in Orlando this week. (Yes, I was disappointed that I missed the Ocala Breeders Sale, but there will be more sales.)

I was surrounded by superstars… Debbie Kirkland (at podium), John Renaudo, Lesley Lambert, Chris Griffith, Matt Fagioli, and Mike Mueller.
