Marion County, Florida
Sure, you can find horses in other parts of Florida, but Marion County is the real deal. It’s known as the “Horse Capital of the World,” with more horses than any other county in the U.S. Ocala, the county seat, sits on rolling hills, a rarity in Florida.
The Ocala National Forest covers a big chunk of the eastern part, offering hiking and camping spots. Silver Springs, one of Florida’s first tourist attractions, still draws visitors with its glass-bottom boats. You’ll find a mix of horse farms, retirement communities, and growing suburbs.
The county has some of the clearest natural springs you’ll ever see. Locals enjoy a slower pace of life than in nearby Orlando. Marion County blends rural charm with touches of new Florida growth. It’s a place where you can go horseback riding in the morning and kayaking in the afternoon.
