The Horse Industry In and Around Ocala.

Written on December 31, 2010 by Susie Blackmon in Horse Farms, Local Businesses

The recent article in Ocala’s newspaper about the horse industry sheds light on our horse industry, locally, and I suspect nationally as well.

Carol Harris of Bo-Bett Farm in Reddick, pictured below, interviewed for the article, is a very well-respected and successful ‘Ocala’ horsewoman who I ‘knew’ way back when I was raising and showing Quarter horses. Her late Quarter horse stallion, Rugged Lark, shown and exhibited very memorably by Lynn Palm, was amazing.

Do You Think You Really Decorate For Christmas in Ocala?

Written on December 23, 2010 by Susie Blackmon in Videos

Do you think you really decorate for Christmas in Ocala? Well, this West Ocala home on NW 73rd Terrace, with more than 100,000 lights covering house and grounds, is definitely what I would call [extensively] decorated… inside, outside and on top. Very beautiful and festive, everywhere you look.

Want to go look at some Christmas lights? Here are the Star-Banner’s 12 Homes of Christmas.

Historic Downtown Ocala, Christmas 2010.

Written on December 17, 2010 by Susie Blackmon in Community Events, Videos

Historic Downtown Ocala, Christmas 2010, was sparkling last night (12/16). The different colors and types of lights, the horse drawn carriage rides, the ferris wheel rides, Santa, and the shopping made it very easy to experience the Spirit of Christmas in the heart of Ocala.

Beautiful Christmas Lights and Horse Drawn Carriage Rides in Downtown Ocala.

Written on December 17, 2010 by Susie Blackmon in Community Events, Local Photos

The beautiful Christmas lights and horse drawn carriages in Historic Downtown Ocala tonight surely inspired visions of sugar plums. (Video tomorrow.)

Children lined up to tell Santa if they were naughty or nice, and amazingly, most of them were nice, although there was obvious evidence of sugar-induced bursts of energy.
