Since moving to the Ocala area in 2005 and building our farm, I've had the pleasure of dealing with many businesses serving the equine community. I decided to create an index of products and services I am pleased with to share with local and visiting horse people. I would like to rely on others in our area to share their resources as well. In addition, I wanted to provide a free website for non business horse persons trying to sell or re-home horses and ponies. Facebook is an excellent way to get the word out to members but a website serves a broader audience. The horses for sale list also includes links to horse businesses in or serving the greater Ocala area. These links serve a mutual purpose for the website by helping to increase traffic and for the businesses by providing free advertising. The website will remain in simple HTML with no pop up ads or flashing busyness. No cookies are placed on visitors devices and no personal information is requested or maintained by Ocala Equine Industries. Presently I am paying for all costs associated with the website but hope at some point some of the businesses will offer to pay for advertising. These past few years have been hard on the equine industry and many horse persons have had to scale back to survive. I want to provide this service to save horses and ponies from bad circumstances and to help them find good forever homes.
