Mural at Rose's Round-Up Cafe in OcalaIf you have not eaten at Ocala’s own Rose’s Round-Up Cafe in the North Magnolia Business District of Ocala at 809 North Magnolia Avenue, you need to get scrambling! (Phone: 352-867-1458)

My girlfriend, Annie, and I ate breakfast there yesterday before visiting the Ocala Arts Festival. You might guess I especially loved the Western lifestyle murals and decorations in Rose’s. Also, Rose’s service is excellent.

Who was the top seller, Day 1, at Ocala Breeders’ Sales Fall Mixed Sale? The top seller in the Consignor Preferred session of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s 2010 Fall Mixed Sale was a 5-year-old Storm Cat mare (Hip No. 147), Zehoorr, in foal to Tiznow, purchased by Rustlewood Farm, Inc. (Reddick, FL) for $250,000 from the Reddick-based Westbury Stables. Average sale numbers were up 42% compared with 2009, in part due to the dispersal of the entire stock of Westbury Stables.

Colors of Fall in Ocala and Marion County, Florida permeate these photos, don't you think? Between the beautiful sunrise the other morning, the tree-lined road dappled with leaves, and the round hay bales, drying in the early morning sun, Ocala and Marion County really do have Fall color! It is amazing what beautiful sights you see walking around Ocala.

Ocala has horse everywhere it seems! The Abbey Horse Festival was held on Saturday, October 2, and was attended by horses of numerous breeds and disciplines. Tuesday, October 5, I visited Historic Downtown Ocala's Center for the Arts and was surrounded by Horse Fever horses. Photos from these two recent excursions are shared in the slideshow below.

P.S. We had perfect weather for our Chili Cook-off this past weekend!

Hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of the Abbey Horse Festival in Ocala, at the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion, held on Saturday, October 2, 2010. There were numerous breeds represented at the Festival... Quarter horses, ponies, a Peruvian, and Friesians, to name some of the breeds at the Festival, and even a llama!

Also, Ocala’s beautiful Gypsy Vanner Horses filled a few of the stalls very elegantly, and the Mule Mom and her baby were an amazing sight to see (you will see them in the video below).

Learn more about the Mule Moms, and join the Mule Mom Kids Club! Located at 12501 SW 8th Avenue in Ocala, call the farm at 352-307-3777 or 866-497-7982 if you would like to arrange a farm tour, and see the beautiful Gypsy Vanners and the Mule Moms and their babies ‘in person.’
