utilize 3 arenas running concurrently and are attended by an average of
over 150 riders, with 1000 entries and hundreds more in attendance in various
support capacities. Our website, www.horseshowsinthepark.com now receives
an average of 450 2000 page views per day!!!! Our year end awards banquet held
in December 2007 at the Ocala Hilton was attended by over 220 riders and
this year’s banquet to be held December 6 at the Golden Hills Golf

This is an outstanding venue to promote, advertise and receive valuable
exposure for and about your business, product and/or service. From trucks

evaluating and purchasing products and services related to their equine
interests each day – why not put yours in the spotlight, right where
